Sarfraz Bugti joins PPP on Asif Ali Zardari’s “direction”

Before joining the PPP, Sarfraz Bugti was associated with the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).

Sarfraz Bugti has joined PPP on Asif Ali Zardari’s “direction”, it emerges on Monday.

The development comes days after the former caretaker interior minister Sarfraz Bugti resigned from office — a legal requirement to contest polls.

Addressing the party’s workers convention in Turbat in the presence of the PPP co-chairman and other leaders, Bugti said, “Respected leader Asif Ali Zardari came to Turbat and directed me to join PPP.”

“It is an honour to join the PPP. We are going to defeat the nationalistic politics which we are starting from Turbat,” he said.

Sarfraz Bugti hoped that peace would be restored in Balochistan under the leadership of Asif Ali Zardari.

In a bid to provide better healthcare facilities to the locals, he urged the ex-president to build a state-of-the-art hospital in Turbat, similar to that in Sukkur.

“Will make the PPP a progressive party under your leadership,” he also promised to Zardari.

Before joining the PPP, Sarfraz Bugti was associated with the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).
