PPP leaders dub PML-N as descendant of late Gen Zia

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Central Information Secretary Nadeem Afzal Chan said on Wednesday that the PML-N might be the successor of late military dictator General Ziaul Haq or late Punjab governor Jilani, but not of Punjab, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad with Peoples Labour Bureau Pakistan In-charge Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmad sitting alongside him, Chan said that the government selling the country’s assets was not its well-wisher, but a ‘thug’. “The PPP, on the other hand, never sold the assets. In fact, it has saved them,” he added. 

He asked the PML-N whether at any stage its government awarded a piece of land to a farmer in Punjab. 

He hit out at the PML-N for selling the GTS buses, which were a mean of transport for the common man.  

The PPP leader dispelled the impression that the party was a partner of the PML-N in the coalition government. “We are the partners of Pakistan and the constitution of Pakistan,” he clarified. 

PPP’s Chaudhry Manzoor said that this time the production of the rice crop would be 43 per cent less due to 43 per cent water shortage. 

He questioned whether a complaint was lodged at a police station against those handing wrong seeds to the farmers.
