SADIQABAD - Former president Asif Ali Zardari said that Pakistan People's Party (PPP) had always preferred the people of South Punjab when it came to their share in rule and development projects.
"The people of South Punjab wouldn't have lacked education, healthcare, and potable water had the incumbent PML-N government provided them their share as per NFC Award."
He expressed these views during a meeting with PPP MPA Ibrahim Khalil at Bilawal House, Islamabad the other day.
According to a press release issued from the local PPP office, Asif Zardari reiterated the vow of mitigating the woes of the population of South Punjab after coming to power in Punjab. "The PML-N leadership has no future in politics," he claimed.
On the occasion, Ibrahim Khalil apprised the PPP co-chairman of the party network in Rahim Yar Khan district. He said that the PPP had become an unbeatable political force in the district and would emerge successful in next polls. "People of South Punjab see the PPP as their representative party in the assemblies," he pointed out.
