She claimed that Mumtaz Bhutto had never even respected the slain PPP leader, Benazir Bhutto, adding that such people were unsuccessful in politics.She said that all efforts against democracy would end in vain as it was restored with the blood of the workers of PPP. She said that PPP co-chairman and President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari did his best to continue with the BB’s ‘reconciliation policy’, but the people who did not understand politics would never learn. She said that PPP had always believed in the sovereignty of the country, adding that the sacrifices of the workers of the party were in front of everyone.The minister said that they were expecting hundreds of thousands of people on their public gathering at Kamo Shaheed on May 12.
