The Pakistan People’s Party said Saturday it was burying “old ways of politics” and heading into the general elections, set to take place on February 8, 2024, with a “no hate” motto.
With less than two months left in the much-awaited polls, the party plans to officially launch its election campaign in full swing with a mass gathering in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh on December 27, which is the date of former PPP supremo and ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s death anniversary.
“PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has made it clear: PPP will run its campaign on positivity, not negativity; we will have to bury the old ways of politics — demeaning one another and taking revenge,” the party’s senior leader, Sharjeel Memon, told a press conference in Karachi.
Memon was speaking to journalists after the party’s “important” board meeting — held under Bilawal’s leadership — in which the PPP’s top brass discussed the plan of action for elections. The politicians informed the media that PPP had already started the public communication campaign and after the announcement of the election schedule, the party chief reviewed the country’s political situation.
“Some political leaders are still demanding revenge, while the ones who wanted to take action against their rivals are sitting in jail themselves,” Memon said. Memon added that the PPP chief has made it clear that the country’s problem isn’t taking revenge from one’s opponents, but the redressal of the nation’s issues — skyrocketing inflation and unemployment.
