LAHORE: PPP chairman Bialwal Bhutto-Zardari says his party will give a surprise in the next general election, especially in Punjab.

Speaking at the NA-133 coordination committees at the Bilawal House in Bahria Town here on Saturday, Bilawal appreciated its members for showing excellent performance in the by-poll (NA-133) in which the PPP made a comeback. Its candidate, Aslam Gill, had secured over 32,000 votes against PML-N’s winning candidate Shaista Pervaiz’s 46,000.

Bilawal said the people of Punjab were being oppressed and this would not continue anymore.

“We will give a surprise in the next election in Punjab and other parts of the country,” he claimed and added that he would soon visit all districts of Punjab.

The meeting was also attended by former premier Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, Shehzad Cheema, Aslam Gill, Samina Ghurki and Faiza Malik.
