The Pakistan People's Party (Urdu: پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی; commonly referred to as PPP) is a centre-left, progressive and social democratic political party in Pakistan. Affiliated with the Socialist International, its political philosophy and position, by country's political spectrum, is considered centre-left.
It has been a major and influential party in the country. Since its founding, the party's leadership has been dominated by the members of the Bhutto-Zardari family. Its centre of gravity lies in the southern province of Sindh.

Famous quotes containing the words peoples, students and/or federation:
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (18581917)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as not black enough. ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
—General Federation Of Womens Clubs (GFWC)
