LAHORE: Only the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will “send home” President Pervez Musharraf but it will do so at the appropriate time, PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari said on Sunday. According to Dawn News, Zardari was addressing provincial ministers from Sindh at a dinner at Bilawal House in Karachi. He denied that his party had made a deal with the president.
Paying tribute to Benazir for her struggle and sacrifices for democracy in Pakistan, he said it was because of BenazirÂ’s efforts that Musharraf doffed his uniform and held general elections. The PPPÂ’s Sindh executive committee has decided to mark BenazirÂ’s birthday with simplicity this year and will not follow the tradition of cutting a cake. An international mushaira (poetry recitation) will be held in Karachi on June 20, a large gathering would be held in Larkana and another in Hala, the hometown of PPP Vice Chairman Makhdoom Amin Fahim.
