[edit] name
One problem is that the official name of the party does not have an apostrophe after "people".—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 19:52, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was the first thing I noticed when I saw the article. I will move the page to Pakistan Peoples Party and have the links point there. Hulleye 07:51, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Ok, done... and i think i didn't leave any double redirects behind. Anyone wanna try and confirm that? Hulleye 08:15, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

- So now we know that "The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) is a mainstream political party in Pakistan." But what do they stand for? What are their ideals? Are they right wingers of left wingers?
That could actually be interesting.

[edit] Sourcing
Apple Pie, I think it's great that you're from Pakistan and, if so, you could be a very valuable asset to Wikipedia; we don't have a lot of folks from that part of the world editing, and can certainly use more. However, when you insert statements into articles, especially when they are potentially controversial or derogatory, you must, must, must have a source to back you up. If you are so familiar with Pakistan, you ought to be able to come up with a source critical of the PPP. I honestly hope you find one and post something here. I will even help you find one, if one is out there, if you want help. Sound fair? IronDuke 00:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pakistan Peoples Party (Shaheed Bhutto Group)
The Pakistan Peoples Party (Shaheed Bhutto Group) (PPP-SB) is mentioned in the following articles
Ishaq Khan Khakwani
Ghinwa Bhutto
Shaheed Bhutto presumably refers to the founder of PPP Shaheed (martyr) Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Is PPP-SB a separate faction to PPP or should references to it redirect to this article? I see that Pakistan People's Party (S) did split away from the PPP and appears on List of political parties in Pakistan. In this article I have put Pakistan People's Party (S) under section: See also and PPP-SB might be put there if a separate article is warranted for it.

- Pakistan People's Party (Shaheed Bhutto) is a completly separate party. See [1], [2] --Soman (talk) 10:27, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] cleanup and more info
This article is embarrassingly short. I would add more if I knew anything, but it needs to be cleaned up and expanded. --Alex Kozak (talk) 05:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Name in Urdu
The Urdu name of the party should be spelled out in the Roman alphabet as well as in the Urdu script. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 03:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Material for expansion
from Ethnicity and Politics in Pakistan:
- During the PPP government tenure employement of Sindhis in public sector jobs increased somewhat. However, many were purged from the positions during the rule of Pervez Musharraf.[1]
- PPP won an overwhelming majority in the 1977 election. However, it was defeated by the opposition Pakistan National Alliance in the non-Sindhi majority urban area of Sindh.[2]
- Ahead of the 1988 election, PPP and MQM an alliance based on a pragmatic need to avoid Sindhi-Mojahir confrontation. The alliance did not last long however.[3]
- MQM broke its alliance with PPP in 1990.[4]
- [Relating to PPP under Zulfikar Ali Bhutto]: Leadership of PPP based in rural Sindh.[5]
