Govt will collapse the day PPP withdraws its support: Shazia Marri
KARACHI (Dunya News) - The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) on Sunday threatened to withdraw its support from the federal government.
PPP leader Shazia Marri said that the federal government would collapse the day PPP withdraws its support.
She said that important decisions are being made without consultation with the party.
The PPP spokesperson expressed strong reservations about the establishment of Pakistan Maritime and Seaport Authority, claiming that the federal government continues to make decisions without taking allies into confidence.
She said the PPP was not consulted on the formation of the Maritime and Seaport Authority.
She added that both the Sindh government and PPP were kept in the dark regarding this decision.
“We have repeatedly emphasized that the PPP's support is crucial for the federal government. The day this support is withdrawn, the government will no longer stand,” she warned.
