MULTAN: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, on Tuesday, said that his party supported Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman's demands. 

The PPP chairman was addressing a rally of his party's workers and supporters in Multan. Bilawal asked workers and his party supporters to give their opinion on whether PPP should join the Azadi March dharna to oust the government or not. 

"From Karachi to Kashmir, our movement against the government is in full swing," said the PPP chairman. 

Bilawal said that PPP's workers and leaders had participated in the Azadi March from Karachi to Islamabad.  

"The opinion that I get from party workers will be kept in mind when the Central Executive Committee (CEC) and the core committee meets," he said.

The PPP chairman had said that as announced before, his party was never a part of any sit-in protest.

"However, if the PPP's core committee decides that we must participate in the dharna, we can think on it," he had said.

Bilawal clarified Maulana Fazlur Rehman's statement by saying that the JUI-F chief did not threaten the prime minister by arresting him.

"He simply meant that the emotions of the people were such that they wanted to arrest the prime minister," he said.

The PPP chairman paid a visit to those who had gotten injured in the Tezgam train incident and inquired after their health. He called on Sheikh Rashid to resign from the railways ministry.
