"The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) does not say that it will solve all the problems of the country in one day, we will end the problems of economy and terrorism, we will bring such reforms in the court that the people will start getting justice overnight, but in such a time Pakistan People's Party's effort is to work for the people according to its manifesto and ideology."
