KARACHI: Pakistan Peopl
es Party (PPP) co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari cancelled his plan to attend a rally in Lower Dir district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday.
The former president was due to deliver a public speech but cancelled his plan at last moment as he did not
get the required security clearance to participate in the public gathering.
Former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani will deliver a public speech on his behalf alongside the
other leaders.
It is pertinent to mention here that the country is in grip of new wave of political rallies ahead of next year’s general elections during which major political parties i
ncluding the ruling Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Peopl
es Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will lock horns.
Earlier, the party held a massive demonstration in Lahore over power outage in Punjab where several party leaders i
ncluding Aitzaz Ahsan, Syed Khursheed Sha
h, and Qamar Zaman Qaira also delivered speeches.
Winning support of people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab is a major challenge for the PPP.
