The Pakistan People's Party has slammed its chief Benazir Bhutto over the recent pact with President Pervez Musharraf [Images] and alleged that the former prime minister struck the deal only for her personal financial gains.

"She just wants her money back and is not interested in the party or its future," The News quoted a senior PPP leader as saying. He said party workers were offended with Bhutto's Abu Dhabi meeting with Musharraf.

The leader, who was not named in the report, said Bhutto and her husband's frozen wealth, including both inland and offshore bank accounts as well as assets, is worth $1.5 billion.

This has also been confirmed by National Accountability Bureau insiders probing cases against the former premier.

Though the party leaders are refraining from speaking publicly against their chairperson, they have expressed their unhappiness over the deal. "The party chairperson has put on sale its repute and standing for her personal financial gains," the daily quoted another leader, without naming him.

However, refuting allegations that Bhutto has taken political somersaults, PPP spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said, "There is no change in the party's stand on the restoration of democracy."

Babar also said that the assessment about the chairperson's wealth was just a figment of imagination and a vicious propaganda against the party leadership.
