SHIKARPUR, Sept 11: Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid MNA and former federal minister Ghous Bux Mahar has said that the party president Shujaat Hussain had given liberty to all the members to cast vote for whoever they liked.

Talking to journalists at an Iftar dinner hosted by District Nazim Mohammad Arif Mahar at Wazirabad on Wednesday evening, he said that he had honoured the massive support of people the PPP enjoyed by casting vote for Asif Ali Zardari in the presidential election.

He said that the people of the country in general and of Sindh in particular were groaning under price hike, unemployment, lawlessness and various other problems but the present rulers had so far done nothing to solve them.

To a question Mr Mahar said that it was the last chance for PPP leaders to rule. If they failed to fulfil their commitments, they would not get the second chance, he warned.
