Three PML-N Bahawalpur leaders join PPP

Hours after Makhdoom Syed Ahmed Mahmood took oath as governor Punjab, three leaders of PML-N on Tuesday announced to join Pakistan Peoples Party claiming that their former party leadership had not paid any heed to their problems. The announcement was made by former PML-N leaders, Syed Salman Ahmed Gardezi, Syed Irfan Ahmed Gardezi and Syed Sajid Hussain, during a press conference at Governor House, Lahore. PPP Punjab President Manzoor Watto was also present at the occasion. Talking to media, Watto said that more PML-N leaders were willing to join PPP and soon they would join the party. Watto further said that although the newly appointed governor Makhdoom Ahmed Mahmood was affiliated with Pakistan Muslim PML-F but he was a sympathizer of PPP. He further said that he had no differences with Naheed Khan and Safdar Abbasi adding that they had grievances with federation not with the provincial leadership. He further said that the PPP would continue its activities at Governor House in Lahore.
