GARHI KHUDA BUKSH (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) leaders and party workers will observe PPP founder and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister (PM) Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s 37th death anniversary today (Monday). Preparations in this regard have been completed in Garhi Khuda Baksh, where cavalcades are arriving in the area from all across the country for participation in the central ceremony.
According to the details, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will also address the gathering in the area during the central ceremony. PPP workers are visiting Bhutto family’s graves and offering prayers for the departed.
An exhibition of memorable photos of Bhutto and his daughter, former PM Benazir Bhutto, is also being held in the area. The pictures include photos from Benazir’s childhood and snapshots taken during Bhutto’s foreign visits. The exhibition will continue for the next 2 days.
PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, speaking on the occasion, has stated that in the current times, power is being shifted towards unelected forces. He added that it is pertinent to realize that power only comes from the ballot box, not bullets.
On the other hand, Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Qaim Ali Shah, talking to the media, stated that PPP was a democracy loving party. Responding to previous allegations over extensive expenditures on Bhutto’s anniversary, Shah stated that the issuance of Rs. 250 million for death anniversary was misrepresented.
