QUETTA, Oct 2: Millat Party President Sardar Farooq Ahmed Khan Leghari has vowed to bring back the money plundered by political leaders during their rule.
Speaking at public meetings in Sibi and Mach, he said the original manifesto of Pakistan People’s Party had promised to restore the usurped rights of the downtrodden. The PPP implemented it as long as late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was its chief, he said. However, his heirs betrayed the party manifesto, programme and the masses and started plundering national resources, he alleged.
Farooq Leghari accused former prime ministers Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto of plundering the country. He alleged that they had taken around Rs120 billion outside the country.
He said his party, if voted to power, would bring the plundered money back and permanently block the path of corruption.
“We would ensure the legitimate rights of the poor people,” he said.
He said the Millat Party would provide jobs to people through economic development. He pledged to make the country a Muslim welfare state.
Sardar Yar Mohammed Rind, a Millat Party leader and chief of the Rind tribe, expressed his hope that the party would win with a massive majority.
He organized a reception at the Chakar-i-Azam Stadium in honour of Farooq Leghari and thousands others. He alleged that he had got the permission from the district coordination officer but the local Nazimeen had flooded the stadium with water sabotaging the reception.
Fateh Khan Khajjak, a candidate for the provincial assembly, also spoke.
Farooq Leghari was taken to Sibi from here in a procession.
