separate entity and had been formed in the same circumstances in which PPPP was registered for election purposes. “We were the PPP, we are the PPP and we shall remain the PPP, and no one has the right or authority to take away this identity from us as poor masses of this country are the true heirs of Bhutto’s legacy,” she remarked.
“Shaheed Chairman Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Chairperson Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and Begum Nusrat Bhutto are our leaders and these three offices are forever dedicated to these great leaders.”
She said, “We will get inspiration from Garhi Khuda Bux and will try our best to bring all the old guards into the party fold by honouring their contributions. We will make full endeavours to bring new cadres into the party, as it was BB’s desire that they are above 60 per cent of the total population and would play a pivotal role to determine the future politics of Pakistan.”
Dr Safdar said the performance of Sindh government was shameful, as hundreds of innocent citizens had died due to poor governance. He said people were dying in Sindh because of heat at hospitals without medicines and the provincial ruling elite were enjoying trips abroad, adding that some of them had gone to United States to celebrate Eid.
He said the PPP was defeated badly in the last general polls and losing committed bank vote due to Zardari. He held the PPP co-chairman for the party failure in Gilgit-Baltistan elections and recalled that the PPP had lost numbers of seats in the 1997 elections but the bank vote remained intact when compared with 2013 when the Zardari-led PPP was eliminated from electoral politics.
Dr Safdar accused the Zardari of destroyed PPP’s philosophy and said Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir always strived for the supremacy of Constitution and Parliament and people’s rights.
“Though the PPP is facing numerous problems in the absence of its great leader, we will continue to take forward Bhutto’s mission of people’s empowerment, supremacy of Constitution and Parliament, and restoration of democracy. He said Benazir’s death had left a huge vacuum in politics.
