PPP workers protest Gandapur’s remarks

KHAR: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) workers on Friday staged a protest to condemn federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur for his uncalled-for remarks against Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Carrying banners and chanting slogans, the PPP workers asked party leadership to raise this issue in the Parliament and make the minister in question step down and tender apology.

Addressing the protesters, PPP local leader in Aurangzeb Inqilabi said that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto worked selflessly for the progress of the country.

Khan Bahadur, Mohammad Saeed and others also spoke at the protest.

Aurangzeb said it was the PPP’s founding chairman, who gave the 1973 constitution to the country and initiated the nuclear programme for the defense of the motherland.

He said Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had united the entire Muslim Ummah on a single platform and worked for the wellbeing of the oppressed segments of the society.

“We ask the top PPP leadership to stop cooperating with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government in the Parliament until Gandapur was made to step down and tender an apology,” he added.
