PDM Rally: Aseefa Zardari to represent PPP in Multan

Lahore, 30th November: Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, the youngest daughter of former president Asif Ali Zardari and late premier Benazir Bhutto, reached Multan today ahead of the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) rally. 

According to reports, PPP is planning to host the PDM rally at Qila Kohna Qasim Bagh Stadium. The gathering will also mark the party’s 53rd foundation day.

As per reports from Geo News, Aseefa Zardari is standing in for the party chairman and brother Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who tested positive for the novel coronavirus last week and is self-isolating. He will be addressing the jalsa via video link.

Bilawal Zardari announced the same on his Twitter handle:

PPP MPA Ali Haider Gilani informed that Aseefa will head to the Gillani House from the airport. She and Yousuf Raza Gillani will lead the rally.

PML-N vice-president Maryam Nawaz will be driving to Multan via GT Road, where she will be welcomed by party workers.

However, the city administration has refused to grant permission for a public gathering planned by the Opposition alliance, citing the rising spread of the coronavirus.

On the other hand, PPP leader Natasha Daultana filed an application seeking permission to hold the meeting on November 30 in Multan.

Deputy Commissioner Amir Khattak denied the permission for the rally, citing Punjab government directives banning public gatherings of more than 300 people until January 31 next year.
