They said that the PPP started Benazir Income Support Programme, prosperity came in its tenure, Swat operation victims were rehabilitated, Pak-Iran Gas Pipeline Project, Gwadar Port, CPEC, and NFC award were initiatives of the PPP.
They said that PPP does not prioritise national interest over personal vendetta and has never done politics of hatred, adding, we believe in politics of tolerance.
Senator Palwasha Khan said that the PPP has started its election campaign while those who are claiming to form the next government are afraid to face the people. “They have not come out of drawing room politics and they are looking for crutches,” she said.
She said that only free, fair, and transparent elections are the solution to all the problems.
Senator Awan said, “Those who want to run away from the elections want to develop more ties with the ruling forces. Those who want to run away from elections have no popularity.”
