Enough is enough: Bilawal Bhutto

Staff Writer

Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said this week that the government had crossed limits in destroying the system and now the only option left was to send them home.

Addressing the participants of the 10-day long Awami March, which culminated near D-Chowk, in front of Parliament House, he said the PPP had launched its long march to save the country and complete the mission of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto – to give basic rights to the people and to give all provinces the ownership of their resources.

Referring to the no-trust motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, he said, this was a democratic weapon of PPP workers and they would use it to send the PM home.

He said Karachi, Hyderabad, Multan, Lahore and all the people of country decided to get rid of the ‘selected’ prime minister.

Bilawal Bhutto said the PPP did not believe in undemocratic means to topple a government. But, he added, the party wanted to oust the prime minister through the no-trust motion in parliament and street protests. “We made a democratic attack on the government in the limits of constitution means,” he said.

Bilawal accused the federal government of hatching a conspiracy against the 1973 constitution and 18th Amendment in the Constitution. But, he added, the PPP would not accept it. He said the PPP had made many sacrifices for democracy.

“The prime minister has made anti-people policies. Due to bad economic policies and the PTI-IMF deal, the country suffered a lot. You (Imran Khan) gave amnesty schemes to the rich and made the lives of the poor miserable,” he said.

On the foreign policy, the PPP chief said former president Asif Ali Zardari finalised deals for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline project, adding that the European Union gave the status of most favourite nation to Pakistan because of the former president’s efforts.
