Published December 30, 2007

RATODERO, Dec 29: Sindh National Front Chairman Mumtaz Ali Bhutto has said the elections have become meaningless without Benazir Bhutto and suggested formation of a non-political government that could ease tension and create a peaceful atmosphere for polls.

“A non-political government should be composed of professionals and honest persons,” he said adding that it should be assigned the task to restore law and order and address issues like corruption, unemployment and price-hike.—PPI
