PM Imran Khan’s policies have only brought ‘destruction’ to the country: Bilawal


NOWSHERA, Nov 19 (SABAH): Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday fired a broadside at Prime Minister Imran Khan, saying that his party will defeat the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in its political stronghold of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) in next general elections.

“PPP jiyalas [workers] will foil your [PM Imran] conspiracies… they will hold ‘selected and puppet’ accountable,” said Bilawal Bhutto Zardari while addressing a rally in Nowshera district of K-P.

In his fiery speech, Bilawal warned PM Imran Khan, saying, “The time to panic has started… PPP will hold a power show in Peshawar to mark its foundation day”. He said the party will send the incumbent government packing and restore the rule of genuine public representatives.

Bilawal said PM Imran-led government was not making any effort to reduce inflation in the country instead it was only “conspiring to rig” the next general elections.

The PPP chairman while referring to Wednesday’s joint session of parliament said the government did not pass a single bill to provide relief to the masses. “70-year-old player can no longer fool youngsters,” he added.

Bilawal said PM Imran Khan’s policies have only brought “destruction” to the country and added that ruling party has miserably failed to fulfill its promises of bringing a “change” in the country.

“Today everyone is in pain… country is facing unprecedented inflation… unemployment and poverty have hit historic highs,” he remarked. Bilawal said only PPP can resolve the issues of masses by implementing its people-friendly manifesto. “When they [rulers] are being selected… they will only server their [selectors] not the people,” he added.

Bilawal Bhutto said that selected Prime Minister Imran Khan cannot resolve issues of public and accused him of trying to rob votes.

He thanked the people of Nowshehra for the warm welcome and said that the PPP is a voice for the poor people of the country. The PPP chairman said that his party gave rights to the country’s workers, farmers and students, adding that his party is a party of die-hard people.

“The PPP had started Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) for the lower segment of the society,” he said and added the people will have to stand by his party. “Today, Kaptan is depriving people of “Roti”, “Kapra” and “Makan”,” he added.

On this occasion, Ahad Khattak, son of Liaquat Khattak, brother of Federal Minister for Defense Pervez Khan Khattak, joined the PPP, on which the PPP Chairman congratulated him.
