LAHORE: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Saturday said new political parties do not have any concrete programme and manifesto, DawnNews reported.
Addressing a public gathering in Sargodha after inaugurating and laying foundation stones of a number of development projects, the prime minister said Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) being an ideological party has the roots in the masses and derives its strength from them.
He said despite all the efforts of past dictators to destroy PPP, the party was still intact and strong with the support and strength of the workers and masses.
Regarding formation of new political parties, and talks of revolutions, the prime minister said revolution was only possible with the support of masses adding that these new entrants in politics did not have public support.
He said some parties came to power through crutches but they washed away because these parties did not have roots in the masses.
He said all the major political parties like PML-Q, ANP, MQM and other leading political players were cooperating with PPP. “It is our power that we are going along with all the parties through reconciliation,” he added.
Gilani said other political parties were misguiding the masses.
He said he did not go there for votes as there was no election in the area but he was there to fulfill his promises made with the people to provide them basic facilities.
