Time to introduce new style of politics: Bilawal Bhutto

Quetta: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said this week that there was a dire need to introduce a new style of politics.

Addressing the party workers here, the former foreign minister said, “In 2018, it was said that that particular leader is an angle and the rest of them are opposite. Now in this year, efforts are underway to portray somebody else as an angle.”

“The politics revolving around hatred are not going to be great for our country,” Bilawal said.

He took a dig at the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, “The deposed premier wanted to convert all the institutions of the state into the Tiger Force.”

Highlighting the importance of his party, he Zardari asserted, “It is important for the PPP to form the government in a bid to address all the challenges the country is facing.”

“The time has come finally to adopt the positive way to stage the politics by abandoning the hatred politics,” the PPP chief said.

The former foreign minister took a jibe at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif. “It has been said that the three-time premier will assume the office for the fourth time in a bid to steer the country out of the quagmire,” he added.

Bilawal said: “Those who staged sit-ins in Hazara were labelled as blackmailers by the PTI chief. The masses should not allow these two people [Nawaz Sharif and PTI chief] to enter the country, who are having a typical way of staging politics.”

Underscoring the importance of steering the country in the right direction, Bilawal said: “There is an urgent need to make the masses the stakeholders in the economy and politics of the country.”
