DADU: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leader Liaquat Ali Jatoi has said that PML-N and PPP leaders have the same agenda of loot and plunder of public resources and Mian Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari are just trying to befool people by expressing differences with each other in public.

Mr Jatoi said at a large public meeting in Bhan Syedabad town on Saturday that in reality both the parties and their leaders had no differences.

He appealed to Chief Justice of Supreme Court and chairman of National Accountability Bureau to arrest all the corrupt people associated with PML-N and PPP and recover billions of dollars of public money from them which they had siphoned off to foreign countries.

NAB should immediately move into action against corrupt PPP ministers in Sindh who were embezzling billions of rupees of development funds without fear of getting caught, he said.

PTI leader Dr Arif Alvi said that his party would secure seats of MNAs and MPAs in all parts of the province and replace PPP in Sindh. More and more people were joining PTI because they had lost all hope in PPP and other parties, he said.

About 2,000 people associated with various parties, mostly PPP, announced joining PTI at the public meeting.
