Karachi: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader Sherry Rehman said this week that her party had nominated former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari as its candidate for the prime minister slot.

Addressing the press conference in Karachi, the former climate minister reacted to the Senate’s resolution seeking a delay in the general elections.

She made it clear that her party was taking a clear stance in line with holding the general elections in the country. ”We [PPP] are ready for the elections,” she said.

”The PPP had not supported the resolution that has been passed in the Senate,” Rehman said.

Separately, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that the elections will be held at any cost. The former foreign minister reacted to the Senate resolution in connection with the delay in the general elections.

Expressing his thoughts in connection with the birth anniversary of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in Lahore, Bhutto-Zardari said: ”Today, we are facing immense happiness as we are celebrating the birth anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.”

He highlighted the economic woes faced by the country, saying, ”The country is facing ballooning inflation, and the salaried people are bearing the brunt of it”.

Bilawal expressed his resolve to serve the masses by focusing on the health and education sectors and ensuring to allievate the hunger in the country.

Schooling the opponents, he said: ”The governments of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were imposed for the sake of serving the elite class. It is important to cast votes for the PPP to see the rule of the poor segment of society in the country.”

He made it clear that his party does not believe in embracing politics based on the ”foul” language.
