- Bilawal dissolves AJK PPP set up
KARACHI, August 3: In a fresh spat with the federal government over the issue of policing powers to Rangers in Sindh, Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had cautioned the centre to desist from interfering in provincial matters.
While calling the ruling party as “failed league” and criticizing Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on his stance about giving special powers to the paramilitary force in the whole province, Bilawal said that the interior minister should pay heed to his own work instead of interfering in provincial matters and the provincial autonomy, said a statement issued here on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has dissolved the organizational set up of the party’s Azad Jammu and Kashmir chapter.
The move comes in the wake of the crushing defeat to the party in the recently held AJK Legislative Assembly polls.
PPP AJK President Chaudhry Abdul Majid, Secretary General Latif Akbar and other office bearers have been removed, sources in the PPP said.
The sources further said that Bilawal will form the new AJK PPP organizational committee this week. Meanwhile, the PPP has nominated Chaudhry Yasin as opposition leader in the AJK Legislative Assembly. -Online
