KHAIRPUR: The PML on Sunday continued celebrating the victory of Gen Pervez Musharraf in the presidential election held on October 6.
In Khairpur, the PML organised a pro-Musharraf rally to celebrate the unofficially announced thumping victory of the president. Sayed Muhib Shah Lakyari, the PML district president, led the rally while the triumphant workers participated in the rally in a large number.
The PML leader said the Supreme Court had “legalised” the presidential poll, adding that the confidence of the majority legislators in the leadership of President Musharraf proved one fact that Musharraf was indispensable for Pakistan and its sovereignty.
He said the PPPP boycotted the poll because they knew Makhdoom Amin Fahim was sure to meet a disastrous defeat while the MMA also realised that they could not defeat Musharraf.
