KHAIRPUR: Qaim foresees majority

Published February 18, 2008

KHAIRPUR, Feb 17: PPP candidate for PS-29 and president of PPP Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah, has said that his party would win with a thumping majority in February 18 elections throughout the country. He said that voters would pay tribute to the late Benazir Bhutto by casting their votes in favour of PPP candidates.

Addressing gatherings of different labour unions on the last day of election campaign here at Panj Gulla chowk on Saturday night, he said that during five year tenure, the previous government resorted to all sorts of highhandedness and excesses which were worse than that of the British rule in the subcontinent but PPP workers, supporters and common man stood against this oppression.

He regretted that PPP opponents were given official protocols during the election campaign for which PPP lodged a number of complaints with the Chief Election Commissioner and the caretaker chief minister of Sindh but no action was taken.

Former district nazim of Khairpur, Nafisa Shah said that people’s power was with PPP and “we have taken oath that we would keep the mission of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto alive”.
