| 2015-09-24 |
| [DAWN] The front man of President Mamnoon Hussain on Wednesday rejected allegations levelled by Pakistain People's Party (PPP) about 'political meetings' of the president, and clarified he had no political ambitions. "The president held a meeting in Islamabad with a PML-N delegation from Sindh in his personal capacity," the president's front man said in an official statement. The front man also rejected the notion that Hussain may lead the election campaign for local government elections in Sindh. Before becoming president, Hussain had an active political role in Sindh and enjoyed grass-root ties with workers, which is why the workers requested for a meeting which the president accepted, clarified his front man. Earlier, according to a report published in Dawn, the PPP had objected to Hussain's participation in a PML-N meeting despite a ban on his taking part in political activities by the court. "The PPP is surprised that unlike former president Asif Ali Zardari, the incumbent president is no longer restrained by the court order from participating in partisan political meetings," said PPP front man Farhatullah Babar in a statement on Tuesday. |
