KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and former Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah said that the PPP always offered tremendous sacrifices for the democracy and remained at the forefront of defence for the democratic system in Pakistan.
However, the extremist gangs while taking the PPP as the biggest hurdle ahead to implementation of their vested designs on the people of the country, targeted it and hence the party could not run the campaign for the general elations in 2013. Nonetheless, people continued to standing with the PPP.
He said that people gave a historical warm welcome to slain the PPP chairperson Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed on her return to Pakistan on October 18, 2007 but the terrorist gangs had attacked her convoy and more than 175 PPP workers were bathed in blood while more than 600 were left as injured.
