SUKKUR: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah on Saturday said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will emerge as victorious in the next general election as well.

Addressing a public gathering organised by the PPP at Kammo Shaheed on the Sindh-Punjab border, Shah said that people had voted for the PPP in the last general elections and the party has come to power because of the struggle and sacrifices of Benazir Bhutto and the party workers.

He said the present government is the government of the poor masses and that it has served the people of the entire country without any discrimination.

The chief minister said that this gathering of more than one million warns Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif not to challenge the people of Sindh or of the country, as many more can be gathered and “head for Lahore.”

He was of the view that being a businessman, politics was not the field for Nawaz Sharif.

Shah said that Nawaz Sharif had taken the dictation from a dictator (Gen Pervez Musharraf) whereas the PPP runs the government in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of the masses. It has given employment to the jobless and empowered the women in the country.

The CM Sindh stated that November-December is not very far off and that Nawaz Sharif should have perseverance and work for the next general elections.

He also pointed out that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has seen many difficulties and yet he is steadfast and determined.
