LAHORE, Nov 14 The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) staged demonstrations throughout Punjab on Saturday to condemn the allegations levelled against President Asif Ali Zardari by Pervez Musharraf.

The PPP workers displayed banners and placards and raised slogans against the former military ruler and burnt his effigies during the demonstrations held at all the district headquarters on the directions of provincial president Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan.

Speaking on the occasion, the PPP leaders described Musharraf's tirade against Zardari as a conspiracy against democracy. They said the former dictator had made an unsuccessful attempt to malign the president as he was perturbed over the successes of the democratic government but he could not shake the trust of the people in him.—Reporter
