– Asif Zardari welcomes Raja Munawar Ahmed –

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader Raja Munawar Ahmed joined on Monday the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

In a meeting held in Lahore, Raja Manoor Ahmed convened with the PPP's co-chairman and former President Asif Ali Zardari, in the presence of former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani.

On this occasion, Mr Ahmed expressed his unwavering faith in the leadership of Mr Zardari and Mr Bhutto-Zardari, and he publicly announced his affiliation with the Pakistan Peoples Party.

Mr Zardari emphasised that the inclusion of Mr Ahmed will fortify the PPP's presence and influence in Choa Saidan Shah.

– Only PPP represents masses –

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said on Monday that only his party represents the masses in its real context.

Speaking to the media in Tandlianwala, Mr Bhutto-Zardari urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to announce the date for the general elections.

He took a swipe at the opponents, saying, "Some of the people are mistakenly believing that the PPP has no interest in Punjab politics. We will prove all of such people wrong."

"We will highlight issues in line with inflation, unemployment, security, and the democratic process," maintained Mr Bhutto-Zardari.
