RAWALPINDI, Dec 15: The disgruntled leaders of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will hold workers convention in Rawalpindi under the banner Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Workers Movement on Sunday.

The purpose of the convention is to mobilise supporters of Ms Bhutto against the government for failing to expose the killers of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

The slain PPP leader’s fifth assassination anniversary is due on December 27.

“We want to hold the convention and unite the diehard supporters of PPP for the first time against the current government for failing to expose the assassins of Benazir. We will hold countrywide conventions to expose the faces that are shy of exposing the killers of Ms Bhutto,” Gen (retired) Ihsanul Haq, former security adviser to Benazir Bhutto told a press conference on Saturday.

Naheed Khan, former political adviser to Ms Bhutto and her spouse and former Senator Dr Safdar Abbasi bsides MNA Agha Nasir Ali Shah would address the convention in Rawalpindi and would chalk out strategy for exerting pressure on government to arrest the assassins of Ms Bhutto on the eve of the upcoming fifth assassination anniversary of Ms Bhutto.

Ibne Rivi, old PPP supporter and close aide of Benazir Bhutto, told the news conference that a big majority within PPP was angry and suspicious about the top leaders in the party for failing to arrest killers of Ms Bhutto.

“We don’t want to leave the party rather we will remain its loyalist till our last breath and will put pressure on the top leaders. Some heavyweight figures in the party are anxious that we should leave the party. But we will not,” Ibne Rizvi asserted.
