PPP is illegal party: Ahsan

LAHORE PPP (headed by Bilawal Bhutto as Chairman and Asif Ali Zardari as Co-Chairman) is an illegal party as it is not registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan. The PPP-P is the party which is registered with the Election Commission and it is headed by Makhdoom Amin Fahim. These views were expressed by PML-N Central Deputy Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal while talking to Nawa-i-Waqt here on Tuesday. Ahsan Iqbal held PPP, MQM, and ANP responsible for Karachi unrest. He said whether all the security agencies failed in restoring peace in the port city or they were not being allowed to do so. Balochistan issue should be solved politically. Operation is not the solution. The killers of Nawab Akbar Bugti should be brought to the court of law in order to heel the wounds of Baloch people, Ahsan Iqbal demanded. While answering a query regarding Kashmir issue, the PML-N leader said that Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan. He further said that government should give top priority to Kashmir issue in Pakistan-India talks. He also demanded a change in Pakistans foreign policy regarding the aforementioned issue. Ahsan Iqbal urged the PPP leaders to register their party with the election commission first and then talk about the transparency, check and balance.
