Published October 12, 2007

SAHIWAL, Oct 11: PPP Punjab President Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi took serious note of the portrait of President Pervez Musharraf hung in the house of his party’s prospective candidate for PP-222 where he was to address a press conference on Wednesday.

He left the room in protest and addressed the media in the compound of the house.

Reports said the PPP leader was scheduled to address his press conference at the house of the PPP-222 candidate and as he entered the room he noticed the portrait of President Musharraf. Expressing resentment against the host, he immediately left the room and held the press conference in the compound.

He ordered an inquiry against the candidate whose name was recommended by PPP Sahiwal tehsil president Hassan Murtaza Sherazi.
