KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto slammed the incumbent government for its performance in the last three years, saying that the PTI has been able to give this country “nothing but historic poverty, unemployment, and inflation”.
Addressing party workers in Tando Allah Yar on Saturday, the PPP chairman said the selected government was launching attacks on the public from all fronts — in terms of their human, democratic, and economic rights.
“We will face off against this incompetent and inept government,” he said, announcing that PPP would soon give a call for anti-government protests. He added that PPP is the “only party” that can give a tough time to the Centre.
Bilawal further said that whenever a “selected government” rules the country, they deprive the masses of their basic rights. “The poverty rate in Pakistan has surpassed that of Bangladesh and Afghanistan, despite Kabul’s 20-year war”, he alleged.
“Pakistanis are not satisfied with the three-year performance of puppet Prime Minister Imran Khan”, he said, adding that the PTI had promised to provide houses and jobs to the people, but instead, jobs and houses were being “snatched” from the people.
“Young people from Kashmir to Karachi are walking around with degrees in their hands but they are not getting jobs,” he said, adding, “Even those who had jobs have been laid off in the last three years.”
Bilawal went on to say that the “PTI-IMF” deal has benefited the rich and harmed the poor, while the masses are “looking to the PPP as it always sides with the poor”.
