Bilawal Bhutto takes dig at Nawaz's fourth premiership attempt

PPP chairperson urges people not to vote for politics of hatred, division

Bilawal Bhutto takes dig at Nawaz’s fourth premiership attempt. Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday said, referring to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, that he has been told that the three-time prime minister will come into power again for the fourth time “to rescue the country”.

Addressing the Balochistan High Court Bar Association in Quetta, Bilawal said he is aware of how elections are held in Pakistan and said that if the people are awakened, no power will be able to stop them from exercising their right to choose.

He maintained that general elections will be held on February 8 in the country.

Taking aim at PTI Chairman Imran Khan, said the 70-year-old “leader of the youth” who ignored the missing persons is also being considered as the ‘last option’.

Asking the people to ‘surprise’ the powers that be on election day, he urged the people to come out and vote for change.

Criticising both Imran and Nawaz, the PPP chairman urged the people not to hand over the fate of the country to the two leaders whose politics of hatred, division and ignoring major issues have lessened the ‘value of the peoples’ blood’.

Earlier, PPP Central Information Secretary Shazia Marri said that her party has always talked about missing persons and that party Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari had initiated the ‘Aghaz-e-Huqooq-e-Balochistan Package’, operationalised Gwadar Port, established universities, advocated a 50 per cent share for Balochistan in the Saindak project and empowered provinces with the 18th Amendment.
