Moreover, the party co-chairperson said they were proud of PPP’s record of public service.

He added that back in 1970s it was the party’s founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who signed an agreement with Indian leader Indira Gandhi to reverse the consequences of the 1971 war and to settle differences between India and Pakistan through bilateral negotiations.
