The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has recently intensified its political activities in Punjab, aiming to revitalize its presence in the region. On February 1, 2026, the PPP organized a significant rally in Lahore under the banner 'Kashmir will become Pakistan,' as reported by Tribune Latest. This event, led by former Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, saw participation from thousands of party workers and leaders, turning into what was described as a 'million march' by the time it reached Mall Road. Ashraf emphasized the party's historical stance on the Kashmir issue and reiterated its commitment to eradicating terrorism, drawing parallels with the vision of PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The rally is part of a broader strategy to reestablish the PPP's influence in Punjab, as noted by Pakistan Today, with Ashraf asserting that the alliance with the PML-N was formed 'in the interest of the state' rather than for political gains.
