Babar says PPP intact

Published March 5, 2003

NOWSHERA,  March  4: PPP leader and former interior minister, Naseerullah Babar, has said that the party’s MPAs in the NWFP had cast their votes in the Senate elections as desired by the party leadership. He denied that any PPP MPA had been issued a show-cause notice for violating party discipline.

He was speaking at a meeting of PPP workers here on Monday.

The workers were critical of those party MPAs, who, they alleged, had voted against the party candidates in the polls for the upper house. Mr Babar told the workers that although the ordinance on floor-crossing was invalid, the party MPAs did not vote for canidates of other parties.
