ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Friday invited former federal minister Riaz Hussain Pirzada to join the PPP.
The offer was made during a telephonic conversation between Zardari
and Pirzada, sources claimed. Pirzada
resigned from his post as a protest for reducing his powers and the action taken against the Sports director general without his approval. The PM has not accepted his
resignation so far. Zardari contacted Pirzada and expressed
his willingness to visit his residence. “Pirzada said that he had a strong affiliation
with former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. However, he did not expres
s his willingness to leave the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz,” sources said. The PM had appointed Ejaz Gul as minister for interprovincial coordination. Pirzada tendered his
resignation on April 28.
