LAHORE, Pakistan: The Former President and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday said that they would not back down from their four demands, and give tough time to the federal government.
“We will not back down from our demands,” Zardari said while talking to the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari via telephone during which they agreed to give tough time to the government on demands of national interest.
Zardari said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led federal government was playing game with national interest.
Meanwhile, PPP’s public rally led by Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari began from Bilawal House in Lahore towards Faisalabad.
During the rally, Bilawal Bhutto would make short addresses to the workers at various locations while the main speech would be delivered in Faisalabad.
Talking to the media, PPP’s Central Punjab President Qamar Zaman Kaira said that this rally would have significant role in the current party’s movement.

For PPP’s public rally, camps were also set up at Nankana Sahib, Feroze Wattwan and Manawala to welcome Bilawal.
