THATTA, March 26: A group of about 60 office-bearers of Pakistan Peoples Party, Thatta city, on Tuesday took out a rally after tendering their resignations to the high-ups in protest against what they said nepotism and favouritism within the party as well as failure of the provincial leadership to hold a workers convention over the past seven years.

The rally participants also complained of have been sidelined by the provincial and district leadership.

The dejected office-bearers belonging to all four wards of Thatta city dispatched their joint resignation to the PPP Sindh president, Syed Qaim Ali Shah, complaining that former lawmakers, district leadership and Thatta president of the party had crossed all limits in violating the party discipline and breaching political ethics.

They said that the provincial and district leadership ignored their contributions and services to the party during its entire term in government.

They staged a demonstration outside Thatta Press Club and raised slogans against injustices done to them by former PPP lawmakers and upper cadre.

They warned of registering their protest with the top PPP leadership on the occasion of party’s founder chairman Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s death anniversary (on April 4) at his mausoleum if their grievances were not addressed by then.
