LAHORE, Oct 22 (APP):Punjab Minister for Information and Culture Azma Bokhari has launched a scathing attack on Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Hassan Murtaza, criticising his recent statement and urging the PPP leadership to take immediate action.
In a response on Wednesday, Azma questioned whether Murtaza is conspiring against his own party’s leadership, stating that the PPP must decide whether to remain silent or compel a reaction from her party.
She took aim at Murtaza, suggesting that if anyone owes an apology, it should be to PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari for failing to keep “defeated elements” within the party in check. She accused certain PPP leaders, particularly those who faced electoral losses in Punjab, of being unable to accept their party’s success and stability in government.
Highlighting the PPP’s contradictory stance, Azma Bokhari remarked, “On the one hand, the PPP chants slogans of democracy, but on the other, it never misses an opportunity to malign our leadership.” She called on the PPP’s top brass to address Murtaza’s remarks promptly, warning that such statements could undermine the party’s credibility.
