A
1,500-strong
delegation
headed
by
former
US
President
Bill
Clinton
would
monitor
the
forthcoming
general
elections
in
Pakistan,
the
Pakistan
Peoples
Party
(PPP)
has
claimed.
The delegation would visit various cities and villages to monitor the electoral process, said PPP"s Punjab Additional General Secretary and President Peoples Labour Bureau, Abdul Qadir Shaheen.
Following a joint stand taken by the PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto, other political parties and lawyers" bodies, the world community had decided to monitor elections in Pakistan, Shaheen said.
Commenting on the deportation of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to Saudi Arabia, the PPP leader said that it would be a stupid thinking on the part of rulers that after sending the PML-N chief in exile yet again, they would also block the way of Bhutto.
“She
would
land
in
Pakistan
before
elections
in
any
case
and
no
body
would
dare
stop
her",
The
Nation
quoted
him,
as
saying.
