PPP will not take part in forthcoming by-elections if controversial members of Election Commission of Pakistan do not resign, declared Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo, President Punjab PPP, while talking to media in Islamabad today outside Zardari House.
He added that there was no moral or legal or moral basisof these members of ECP to remain in position and they should better voluntarily tender their resignations and go home with degree of honor and dignity.
While responding to media questions, Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo said that the PPP, Punjab, had recommended to the top Party leadership of giving up the policy of reconciliation because it had cost dearly to the Party adding it could not afford the same any more.
He said that the PPP would contest the forthcoming local bodies’ elections and was confident to show good results. The PPP will also go for seat adjustment with the opposition parties keeping in view the dynamics of local politics, he added.
He strongly condemned the arrest of PPP leader, Dr. Asim Hussain, which was a sheer political victimization because he was arrested without investigations.
He regretted that the issuance of arrest warrants by the Karachi Court of former Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani and Mr. Amin Fahim, top leader of the Party. All these activities are manifestations of witch hunting that will not accrue well for the country and the democracy, he observed.
He maintained that the PPP was against corruption, but the observance of due process of law was the condition precedent to deal with such cases. Arrests of senior leaders of the PPP without the due process of law are sheer political victimization that would be resisted by the Party, he asserted.
