Sharjeel predicts PPP’s landslide win in polls

KARACHI: Former Sindh information minister Sharjeel Inam Memon has said the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is going to secure a landslide victory in the upcoming general elections from all over the country.

Speaking at a press conference here at the media cell of Bilawal House on Monday along with former Sindh labour minister Saeed Ghani, Memon said that except for PPP rest, all the political parties had been shying away from the upcoming general elections.

He said that only the PPP was fully prepared to contest in the upcoming general elections. He said the PPP was going to contest the upcoming general polls with the view to promoting the unity and integrity of the country.

He mentioned that the PPP had secured a landslide victory in the local government by-polls held in Sindh the other day. He said the PPP’s victory in the local government by-polls was so convincing that the opponents of his party even didn’t get the chance to level baseless allegations of rigging against the PPP.

The former Sindh information minister predicted that the PPP was going to emerge as the single largest after the upcoming general elections. He said the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and caretaker governments shouldn’t overstep their authority by ordering the freezing of the development funds. Memon said the hardships of the masses were multiplied due to the freezing of the development funds in the interim regime in the country.

He told media persons that the PPP was credited with launching of several historical projects in the country including laying the foundation stone of Pakistan’s nuclear programme and CPEC.

He said the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in his capacity as the foreign minister in the previous regime had strengthened the case of Pakistan on every front. He said that Bilawal as the foreign minister had also exposed the atrocities of Narendra Modi’s regime against Muslims in India.

Saeed Ghani said on the occasion that the result of the latest local government by-polls had proved the PPP’s status as the most popular political party in Karachi. Both the former Sindh ministers strongly condemned Israeli aggression against innocent Muslims in Gaza.
