Published May 1, 2005

KARACHI, April 30: Pakistan People’s Party leader Asif Ali Zardari is arriving here from Lahore on Sunday evening on a few days’ visit during which he will attend to various party-related matters, PPP sources told Dawn here on Saturday.

Mr Zardari, who had arrived in Lahore from Dubai on April 16 amid tight security arrangements and baton-charge of the activists converged on the city to welcome him, had visited Karachi a few days back to attend to some family matters.

His visit to the city comes amid reports that he has been advised to shift his Lahore residence, Bilawal House-II, to some other location in the Punjab capital.
