RAWALPINDI, June 17 The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has finalised all arrangements to celebrate the 56th birth anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and has decided to set up camps on June 21 for collecting blood donations.

The centre of activity would be the spot outside Liaquat Bagh where Ms Bhutto was assassinated. The PPP would also inaugurate a filtration plant there and name it as Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Filtration Plant.

Office-bearers of PPP's provincial chapter, including student, women and labour wings of the party, would meet on Thursday at the PPP Liaquat Bagh office for reviewing the arrangements.

The birth anniversary of Ms Bhutto would be celebrated with zeal for the first time after her tragic assassination.
