PPP to contest elections with charter of prosperity: Gilani

MULTAN: Former Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani said that the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) will participate in the election with full strength and the manifesto of the party would be the symbol of prosperity. This political party is the only one that can address the grievances of South Punjab by making it a separate province, Gilani said.

Gilani was speaking at the Multan Division PPP meeting held under the chair of South Punjab PPP president Syed Ahmed Mehmood at Multan Bilawal House on Friday.

Syed Ahmed Mehmood said that he would make South Punjab a Mini Larkana by winning the elections and would pull the poor out of inflation, unemployment and poverty. "People of many parties are in contact in South Punjab and very soon a big and united party will contest elections. The change will happen and the People's Party will form the government in the federal and four provinces with Bilawal Zardari as president and the Chief Minister of Punjab will also be from PPP," Ahmed Mehmood said.

The PPP office-bearers including South Punjab Chief Coordinator Abdul Qadir Shaheen, PPP senior Vice President Khawaja Rizwan Alam South Punjab PPP General Secretary Natasha Dalutana, Haider Zaman Qureshi, Mahmood Hayat Tochi, Malik Iqbal Randhawa, Babu Nafees Ahmed Ansari and others were also present.
