The PPP senior leader said the incumbent federal government wanted to get rid of the employees rather than creating employment opportunities. But, he added, PPP always gave employment to the people.

Moreover, Syed Khursheed Shah said he had never been involved in any corruption. He said a Parliamentary Committee needed to be formed to probe whether he committed corruption or not.

Khursheed Shah said in Sukkur, they retrieved the public land worth Rs 15 billion from the occupants.
