ISLAMABAD: Former Interior minister and Institute of Research and Reforms Chairman Senator Abdul Rehman Malik on Monday said if the Patriot group had not emerged in the party, the PPP would have been stronger today but some senior leaders betrayed the party at a difficult time.
“In the recent past, some politicians harmed the party for vested interests,” he said while talking to The News on the 68the birthday of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. Felicitating PPP workers on Benazir’s birthday, Malik urged PPP workers to remain united under the leadership of Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to fulfil Benazir’s dream of a happy, peaceful, and prosperous Pakistan. He said Benazir was a great teacher from whom he learned a lot. He said Benazir’s political insight, wisdom, and party administrative skills were unparalleled and she used to say sycophants are detrimental to the party.
