KARACHI: PPP predicts fresh polls

Published December 31, 2002

KARACHI, Dec 30: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) said on Monday that the vote of confidence won by Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Jamali from the National Assembly “would not enhance his administrative powers”.

Commenting on Jamali’s getting 188 votes of confidence, a spokesman for the PPP said the members of forward bloc would soon realize their standing when they would be asked to cast a vote of no-confidence against the same PM, by their masters.

He predicted that the present government’s rule would end in June-July next.—PPI
