KARACHI: An staunch jiyala said goodbye to PPP after serving it for 40 years and joined Larkana Awami Ittehad (LAI) candidates here on Wednesday.
Mohammad Hashim Bhutto while addressing newsmen at a local press club said that the attitude of party’s Larkana district president Abdul Fatah had disheartened him as he was constantly neglected by the party. He was accompanied by GDA candidate for PS-11 Moazim Ali Abbasi and MMA candidate for NA-200 Rashid Mahmood Soomro.
He said activists suffered severe hardships after martyrdom of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and after the assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto but party never looked after them despite their claims. He alleged that mean and selfish people were given preference during the previous era due to which he has become disheartened.
Abbasi said Bhutto has joined LAI at his own without any pressure adding PPP now has no place for ideological and old workers.
Councillor of Union Committee-4, Ward-2 Ghulam Mohammad Wagan also announced to join LAI after leaving PPP. Rashid Mahmood Soomro said on the occasion that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will never serve the people of Larkana as he had not so far reached here to the people for seeking their votes.
Meanwhile, Nisar Khuhro said that conspiracy of dividing Sindh had started. He said that after support of new administrative units in Sindh by PML-Functional leader Sadaruddin Shah Rashdi, it had become clear that agenda of MQM and GDA was same. This he said while addressing various corner meetings here.
Meanwhile, Nida Khuhro, PPP candidate for PS-11 went to the shrine of Hussain Shah Bukhari in Kambar and sought his blessings. Benazir Bhutto and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had also gone there.
