Fauja Singh attended a rally at village Kukranwala that falls in Raja Sansi constituency,from where PPP candidate Amanpreet Singh Chhina,a permanent resident of UK is in fray.

Expressing concern over the deteriorating law and order situation and referring to the incidents of snatchings,Fauja Singh said that he was impressed with the ideology of PPP. He said that he deeply felt that people should choose PPP to improve the state-of-affairs in Punjab.

Calling PPP the first party that gave a call for safeguarding the interests of the state,he said the god had given a chance to the people to elect a good government.

It is a big motivation for me that a 100-year-old man is coming to bless and support me.
