Summary PPP Lahore convened on the occasion of party's Foundation Day
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) Lahore chapter on Monday passed an in-party resolution demanding Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to apologise to former president Asif Ali Zardari over false cases, Dunya News reported.
PPP Lahore convened on the occasion of party’s Foundation Day and held a ceremony in Lahore. They also demanded to bring former military dictator Pervez Musharraf to ‘logical end’.
Addressing the ceremony, prominent PPP leader Aitzaz Ahmed asked why don’t National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) move against Sharif brothers. “Sharif brothers paid zero tax in 1996 and how did they get assets worth billions?” he asked.
Former governor Punjab Latif Khosa said in his address that PPP clean-swept the local body elections in Sindh despite all negative propaganda. He alleged Sharif brothers have again started the politics of 90s.
Khosa said PPP will not only claim Lahore, but also whole Punjab and then whole Pakistan will belong to the PPP party.
The contents of the approved resolution allege PM Nawaz made false cases and yet Zardari is being acquitted of the charges; therefore an apology is in order.
It further states Musharraf to be brought to his ‘logical end’ and demands a re-opening of the Bhutto reference case and a quick verdict in the same.
