KARACHI: Foreign Minister and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday said that Imran had been ‘selected’ in the previous elections and that he was now struggling to get selected again.
He said this during a ‘victory’ rally in Karachi’s Malir area where his party won Sunday’s by-elections for NA-237 Malir II.
He said that he is proud of the way the PPP workers have worked in the by-polls. He also thanked the PDM alliance for their cooperation in defeating the PTI chief in the constituency.
Bilawal said that the people of Malir, who fought against every dictator, reassured their trust in the PPP in the NA-237 by-polls. Imran Khan and PTI’s incompetence damaged the country’s economy and foreign relations, he added.
The PPP Chief said that Imran Khan claimed to provide 10 million jobs but rendered the people jobless instead. The PTI Chief’s whole narrative is based on hate-mongering, he added.
Bilawal said that Imran Khan was ‘selected’ once, and he wants to be ‘selected’ again. If the former premier did not have any power then why did not he resign? Bilawal questioned.
The PPP chairman, who has been the butt of jokes for Imran Khan for the past five years, vowed to beat an “old and spent” Imran in next election with the help of young people.
“We will make sure he retires now for good,” Bilawal said to loud cheers from the gathered party faithful.
He also met with elders of the area and thanked them for their support apart from felicitating PPP Abdul Hakeem Baloch.
