All attempts by the military regime to split Pakistan
People's Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) after the October 10
polls have failed, Bhutto, who is in self exile, told a
gathering of the party's newly elected parliamentarians over
phone.
Asserting that the party has remained steadfast and
united, Bhutto, who held several rounds of the talks with
officials of the bush administration during the last few days
in Washington, said the party would not support the Legal
Framework Order (LFO), which incorporated the constitutional
amendments brought in by Musharraf.
Bhutto also nominated Fahim, who was accused of
hobnobbing with the military ruler, to head the party in
parliament.
Three PPPP members of the national assembly reportedly failed to attend the party's meeting today.
