Abstract
Elections, political parties and leadership always play significant role in the political culture of any state. Pakistan has many characteristics in its political culture and it varies from region to region. Punjab is the key region among the other regions of Pakistan which plays noteworthy role in economy and political culture. Before the partition of the sub-continent, Punjab and Bengal were very effective and influenced in the political culture of the sub-continent. After the partition of India in 1947, though Punjab was divided but in spite of this, the importance of Punjab cannot be ignored. It has few important cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi and Multan. Remarkable role of leadership of these cities cannot be ignored. On the other hand, the masses of these cities always supported the democratic norms and raised slogans against the dictatorial and authoritarian rules in Pakistan. Faisalabad is a hub of industrial zone from where the industrial products are exported to the world. In this industrial city, what the political maturity level of the people is? This research paper will explore this question. Pakistan People’s party is considered the political party of Sindhis.
