HYDERABAD: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that how long the people of Pakistan will tolerate this incompetent, incapable and illegitimate Prime Minister, adding that establishment is being dragged into politics by those who are begging it to help them in the Senate elections and announced that there is will a march in March.
Addressing a massive public meeting of PDM in Hyderabad hosted by PPP, the Chairman said that the present selected rulers had destroyed the economy, eroded democracy and restricted the media and the judiciary.
Bilawal said that there was a talk not to drag the establishment into politics. Let the people know who is dragging it into politics? Those who say that every institution should work within its own Constitutional domain or those who hold their finger in politics and contest elections; those who ask it to stand inside and outside the polling stations. Or those who ask the establishment to take care of the media, get the budget approved, and go and take care of the angry friendly countries for or on behalf of the selected, the PPP Chairman questioned.
He pointed out that the Imran-led selected government has caused so much inflation that 50% of the households in Pakistan are suffering from malnourishment, as people are forced to cut their rations due to the unprecedented price-hike. “Before coming to power, Imran Khan used to say that he would commit suicide instead of going to the IMF, but in three years he took the biggest loan in history,” he added.
PPP Chairman said that no prime minister can say that Sindh is not his province, but the selected prime minister says that Sindh is not our province but he only needs Sindh’s islands, gas, coal, and tax revenue adding that you are a Prime Minister, if Sindh is not yours, then Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan are also not yours.
He said that the selected Prime Minister knows how to rob the pockets of the people instead of solving their problems and he knows how to attack the Benazir Income Support Program, the 18th Amendment, and the NFC. “Sindh has been given Rs 116 billion less than the share it received under NFC Award last year and Rs 200 billion this year,” he added.
Bilawal said that the people of Hyderabad will also be with us in the protest march of PDM and we will leave Karachi and we will all meet in Islamabad.
He said that the PDM was created to make the people the source of power, and to form a government that would protect the rights of the people and solve their problems.
