 PPP support coveted in Khanewal -DAWN - National; October 5, 2002
KHANEWAL, Oct 4: This is perhaps the only district in southern Punjab where workers of the PPP and the PML-N are electioneering in unison against the PML-QA.
Once sour relations between the countries’ two main political organizations turned cordial in Khanewal when the Hiraj clan of district Nazim Ahmed Yar left the PPP on the last day of allotment of symbols for the October 10 elections.
The cunning act of Hirajs is a mixed blessing for their arch rivals, Syeds of Kattalpur, who are led by PML-QA think-tank Syed Fakhar Imam, whose position in NA-156 (Kabirwala) has improved against Barrister Raza Hayat Hiraj of the PPP after neutralization of a sizable chunk of the PPP vote-bank.

Shantinagar, a small village which was razed to the ground and looted by a band of Muslim hooligans on February 6, 1977, suddenly became a campaigning hotspot, if only for selfish reasons - Shantinagar had a vote bank of 6,000 people.
