PPP-SB reacts to Khuhro’s remarks

Published January 1, 2009

LARKANA, Dec 31: Pakistan People’s Party - SB activists took out a procession here on Wednesday to protest against Sindh Assembly Speaker Nisar Khuhro’s remarks against Ghinwa Bhutto.

Led by Umar Siyal, deputy secretary general of PPP-SB, Inayat Umrani and Hameed Baloch, the procession emerged from Al-Murtaza house and ended at the press club. The participants were chanting slogans and carrying party flags.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Siyal and other PPP-SB leaders criticized Khuhro and demanded from him an unconditional apology over the statement. They also announced to lay a siege around the house of Nisar Khuhro in Larkana.

Meanwhile, in a press statement issued from Al-Murtaza House, Mr Siyal said that PPP leaders had abandoned people after winning election in the name of Benazir Bhutto.

They kept people on false hopes, he said and flayed present government’s foreign policy as it could not come up with firm and clear stand to counter the Indian stance.

He urged President Zardari to expose the killers of Benazir Bhutto as he knew them. Mr Zardari’s statement of knowing the killers of Benazir Bhutto showed that he was protecting them, Umar Siyal said.
