RAWALPINDI:
Discontent is growing among Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) workers in Rawalpindi over being sidelined during Eidul Azha celebrations, particularly regarding selective meetings with President Asif Ali Zardari.
During a press conference, PPP Rawalpindi Cantonment President Malik Qasim Idrees, Punjab Council Member Banaras Chaudhry, Tauqeer Abbasi, Nasir Mir, and Abdul Rehman Tokli voiced strong concerns over what they termed a conspiracy to block dedicated workers from meeting the President. They specifically accused Presidential spokesperson and former MPA Aamir Fida Paracha of creating hurdles and discouraging grassroots members from accessing leadership.
The party leaders said they were deeply disappointed by the demoralisation of loyal male and female party workers and alleged that a deliberate conspiracy had kept PPP’s allied organisations from meeting the President. They claimed that former Baitul Maal MD Aamir Paracha failed to communicate the true sentiments and grievances of party workers to the leadership, which has harmed the party’s unity.
Criticism was also directed at the repeated nomination of weak candidates in Rawalpindi.
