‘PPP to welcome, take part in Fazl-led march in Sindh’ – Pakistan

KARACHI: Sindh's Minister of Information, Archives and Labor, Saeed Ghani, announced on Saturday that, under the direction of the party president, the leaders and workers of the People's Party of Pakistan (PPP) would welcome and participate in the & # 39; Azadi March & # 39; led by Maulana Fazlur Rehman. , organized by Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), which will begin in Karachi on Sunday [today].

Speaking at a press conference with other party leaders, he said the PPP had already decided to welcome the march wherever it began. After that, he said, the leaders and workers of the PPP Karachi division would receive the participants in the "March of Azadi."

"After Karachi, PPP workers and leaders in Jamshoro will receive and welcome the Azadi March," said Ghani, president of the party's Karachi division. "The decision to support the progress of the JUI-F was reached after the consensus and due deliberation of the PPP leaders, who firmly believes that this government is solely responsible for the deterioration of the country's social and economic structure."

He also blamed Prime Minister Imran Khan for the deterioration of the health status of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The minister said that if something unpleasant happened to former President Asif Ali Zardari or Mr. Sharif, the federal government would be responsible for it.

"Here, I must make it clear that neither Asif Zardari nor Nawaz Sharif have the necessary facilities according to the prison manual," he said. “When Faryal Talpur was arrested to pressure former President Zardari, Maryam Nawaz was arrested to coerce Nawaz Sharif. Imran Khan Niazi has surpassed former dictator Ziaul Haq by leading [out] revenge against his political opponents. "

He said that even previous dictators had not denied the right of political prisoners to have access to the necessary health services. Ghani said that all key ministries in the Imran Khan regime had been handed over to "accomplices" of former retired dictator General Pervez Musharraf.

"It seems that Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf's heart and soul have resurfaced in Imran Niazi," he said. “I have no doubt about the deterioration of the health status of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Nawaz Sharif should have all possible health facilities in accordance with the wishes and wishes of his family members. "

Responding to a question, the provincial minister said it was the responsibility of each government to provide security for peaceful protests. He said that people could not be stopped from peaceful protests in the name of security.
