and victimization of already traumatized Party
workers was brought with grave dangers.
The PPP Co-Chairman said that while the Party
is going into elections despite being in a state
of shock to save the federation. However, the
undemocratic forces have started hunting down
the workers of PPP to create chaos to run away
from elections. The Party will not let the regime
seen away from polls, he said. Asif Ali Zardari
