He said that the party would abide by the promises of the party leadership including Asif Ali Zardari and Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
PPP MPA Makhdoom Usman said in his address that the coalition government realised the pressure on the masses, but the government had to make difficult decisions to steer the country out of crises.
MPA Ali Gilani said that south Punjab was facing extreme shortage of canal water, who needed immediate relief. He said that revolutionary steps to eliminate deprivation of south Punjab were need of hour.
MPAs Mumtaz Ali Chang, Shazia Abid, Ghazanfar Langah and Raes Nabeel also expressed their views at the meeting. It was worth men-tioned here that fter an hours-long hearing on the PTI’s petition against the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) order to recount the votes cast in the April 16 Punjab chief minister election today, and conduct a second round of voting if required, the apex court on Friday said that this process would now take place on July 22 five days after by-elections on 20 Punjab Assembly seats are conducted on July 17 and that incumbent chief minister Hamza Shehbaz would remain in office till then.
