HYDERABAD: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that when the court pronounces its verdict on the issue of rejection of seven valid votes in the Senate Chairman election, the whole of Pakistan will know that the PDM not only defeated current government in the National Assembly but in the Senate as well.

Addressing a function in connection with a campaign to plant 100,000 trees in Khatri Forest near Hyderabad, the PPP chairman said that PDM candidates had won the by-elections in every corner of the country. PDM not only participated in the Senate elections but also succeeded adding that when the PTI government was defeated from one house to another, it got frustrated.

Bilawal further said that the PDM leadership would meet tomorrow in which the next course of action would be decided.

He said that Sindh Forests and Wildlife Department was doing commendable work despite limited resources. This department has set a Guinness World Record for planting the most trees in a single day for three times.

The PPP chairman said that Imran Khan had claimed to plant one billion trees, but the Sindh government had actually did it. The Sindh government had planted 1.7 billion plants of mangroves alone, which was very beneficial for marine and coastal life adding that the initiative of planting one lakh saplings in Khatri Forest Hyderabad in a day was commendable, which will benefit Hyderabad and surrounding areas.

Bilawal pointed out that the Urban Forest initiative by the Forest Department in Sindh would help in combating climate change as well as create employment opportunities for the poor. He inaugurated a campaign to plant 100,000 trees in Khatri Forest.

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, Provincial Ministers Nasir Hussain Shah, Sohail Anwar Siyal, Ismail Rahu and Murtaza Wahab, MPAs Sharjeel Memon, Jam Khan Shoro and other leaders were also present on the occasion.
