ISLAMABAD: Senior leaders of PPPP have speed up their efforts to
reconcile differences, reservations of volatile PPPP dissident from
Sindh, Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Mirza.
Reliable sources of PPPP have
informed that co-chairman PPPP and President of Pakistan, Asif Ali
Zardari and other senior leaders want to retain Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza in
party ranks.
It has been learnt that senior PPPP leader and
federal minister for Religious Affairs, Khursheed Ahmad Shah has met the
dissident Dr. Zulfiqar, numerous times in order to unsuccessfully
persuade party’s Sindh strongman to cease his tirade against coalition
partners, MQM, besides coming back to party folds.
ONLINE has
been informed by sources that the dissident leader has also been offered
to contest successful elections from the constituency of PS-57, Badin,
which has been outrightly rejected by an unwilling dissident.
This
refusal by Dr. Zulfiqar Mirza prompted PPPP’s offer to his son, which
was again discarded by Mirza, who has also expressed his fears of his
son being harmed by grudging elements.
Sources have also
informed that PPPP leaders have also offered Badin’s by-elections to
Speaker N.A, Dr. Fehmida Mirza. However this issue remains inconclusive
until the return of Speaker N.A from her current tour of Albania. Online
