Former President and co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party on the closing day of year 2017 paid a visit to the Mazar of Hazrat Data Gunj Bakhsh Ali Hajveri (RA) here on Sunday where he laid a floral wreath at the mausoleum and offered Fateha. He prayed for solidarity, security, and prosperity of the country.
A large number of PPP workers were present at the Darbar and chanted "Ik Zardari Sub per Bhari." Later he visited Mazar of Bibi Pak Daman in the heart of the city where he also laid a floral wreath and offered Fateha. He also laid wreaths on behalf of his two daughters Bakhtawar and Asifa Bhutto Zardari.
Talking informally to party workers he said that he wanted to close the year by paying his respects to the Sufi saints as he gets mental peace at the Mazars of Aulia Allah. He advised his party workers to offer Nawafil on New Year eve. It may be added that Asif Ali Zardari is all set to strengthen PPP's roots and revive the party once again in Punjab. Besides, he has started playing an active role in the crisis ridden politics of Punjab after disqualification of Nawaz Sharif for life to hold any public office by the Supreme Court and the suicidal actions of the Punjab government with regard to Model Town massacre in 2014 and controversial statement by unguarded Law Minister Rana Sanaullah.
The deadline set by Khatm-e-Nabuwwat Conference led by Pir Hameeduddin of Sial Sharif expired on Sunday, 31st December 2017 without Rana' s resignation and the furious religious parties are set to announce their next course of action soon.
It may be recalled that the All Parties Conference (APC) held at PAT headquarters on Saturday strongly condemned the Model Town tragedy and the purported attempt to change the wording of law regarding the finality of the prophethood.
The conference, attended by all major opposition parties including PPP and PTI, has also given January 7 deadline for Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, provincial Law Minister Rana Sanaullah and others responsible for the Model Town incident to resign.
The APC requested the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take suo moto notice of the heinous crime committed against humanity, state, and public and order the constitution of a neutral JIT for fair, transparent and complete investigation of the massacre of defenceless people since Model Town tragedy was a grievous human tragedy and the apex court should be appointed to oversee the probe.
