Manifesto of PML likely next week

Published December 6, 2007

ISLAMABAD, Dec 5: The Pakistan Muslim League is likely to unveil its election manifesto early next week, laying stress on ‘successes’ in various sectors during five years of its rule.

So far, only the Pakistan People’s Party has made its manifesto public.

Although other opposition parties also have their manifestos ready, but have not unveiled them because they are yet to take a final decision about taking part in or boycotting the elections.

PML president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain is reported to have stressed that the manifesto should highlight the need to eradicate “falsehood and hypocrisy from national politics”.

It may be noted that the party’s 2002 manifesto had also professed to do it.

Chaudhry Shujaat was reported to have said that the party would work to eliminate the politics of compromises for the sake of gaining power.

The party’s secretary-general, Mushahid Hussain, denied that the party had confined itself to the ‘drawing room’ after President Musharraf left the army.
