KARACHI: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) member of National Assembly Bhawan Das announced joining the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in a meeting with party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday.
The announcement was made after he met the former president of Pakistan at Zardari House in Nawabshah. Bhawan Das, hailing from Sindh’s Sanghar district, was elected MNA on a minority seat on PML-N ticket in 2013.

Addressing a news conference in Nawabshah later, Zardari said that the PPP had made efforts to save Nawaz Sharif’s government but he never repaid the favour and that he will be held accountable when the time comes.
He said that the PML-N has been reaching its decline for the past one and a half years. It was at that time that the party saved his government from collapsing, otherwise a new battle for the thrones would have begun.
However, the PML-N leader never repaid the favour, Zardari said and added that he planned to rally against Nawaz in the upcoming general elections.
