The "Caravan-e-Bhutto" train march led by Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reached Nawabshah on Wednesday on its way to its destination of Larkana.
The PPP chairman was warmly welcomed by party workers at Nawabshah Railway Station.
The “Caravan-e-Bhutto” which kicked off on Tuesday from Karachi's Cantt Station saw many senior PPP leaders join Bilawal as he makes his way to Larkana to attend the 40th death anniversary of the party founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
Addressing party workers from the compartment of his train on Tuesday, the PPP chairman said the late former premier and party founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto sacrificed his life but did not take a U-turn.
Upon reaching Kotri Station, the PPP chairman alleged that the rulers of the country were conspiring through "NAB Gardi", adding that the anti-graft body was formed to help run "selected governments".
"We have seen Zia's dictatorship, we are not scared of this government," he said. Bilawal later paid a tribute to Bhutto by reciting a poem in his honour.
