LARKANA, April 4: Pakistan People’s Party-SB chairperson Ghinwa Bhutto has observed that the People’s Party Parliamentarians will lose people’s support and confidence if it entered into a deal with the government. Speaking at a public meeting in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Bhutto on Monday in connection with the 26th death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, she alleged that the PPP could not do politics without the support of the establishment and the US.

She maintained that PPP and the PML-N leaders were living in Dubai and Saudi Arabia and waiting for a green signal from the army and the US to return to Pakistan.

She observed that the country could be made prosperous by following the late Bhutto’s philosophy.

She demanded provincial autonomy.

RESOLUTIONS: The gathering demanded that the Kalabagh dam project should be shelved, National Finance Commission award be based on income generation and tribal disputes be resolved.

It called for regular hearing of the Mir Murtaza Bhutto case in the light of a Sindh high Court decision and reopening of the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto case.
