PPP dissident workers from different districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have expressed reservation over the party provincial cabinet, demanding of the central leadership immediate hold re-election of the party and to award tickets to ideological people.
The disgruntled workers warned that if their demand was not fulfilled within two days, they would field own candidate for next election. Speaking at a press conference here at Press Club on Friday, PPP Workers Itehad, Chairman, Nazleen Bacha said the party provincial ministers and leaders had completely ignored the ideological workers during part of ANP-led coalition government during last five years in the province.
He said that the ideological workers had rendered numerous sacrifices for the party, but they are not given due status by the leaders at the provincial level. Similarly, he said they had also ignored in the process for next general elections. He added that party is considering for awarding tickets to corrupt leaders, which was not given importance to workers during last five years.
Though, he said the PPP has claimed for upholding high democratic norms in its constitutional period of five years, but it was failed to introduce internally democratic culture in the party. By following undemocratic norms, he said the party provincial cabinet had formed by selection instead of holding elections in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We totally rejected the present party provincial cabinet, he announced, demanding of the central leader to conduct re-election to elect real leadership in the province. He also demanded of the party central leadership to award tickets to ideological workers instead of corrupt leaders for the next general elections.
