“I urge the party leadership and cadres to spread out in the affected areas and set up relief camps and extend all possible material and moral support to the victims,” he said, adding that the victims should not feel abandoned in their hour of plight and misery.

Mr Zardari also sympathised with the victims and families who lost their loved ones during the floods.
