LAHORE: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced long march from Karachi to Islamabad on February 27, while PDM has not consulted with the PPP regarding their long march.
While addressing a ceremony in Punjab, he said that the people of Pakistan are in trouble at the moment. Government is snatching the roof off the heads of the poor. The people know that the PPP employs people everywhere.
He went on to say that instead of giving 10 million jobs, the jobs have been snatched away. The people want to get rid of the government. The workers will be my strongest arm in the struggle.

The PPP leader said that Imran Khan took oath of speaking the truth yet hid Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) bank accounts from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). He further said that Imran Khan taunted everyone of corruption whereas the “selected prime minister” has himself embezzled millions.
Bilawal Bhutto also claimed that the prime minister looted the country under the disguise of a so-called campaign against corruption. The devastated national economy is proof of the fact that the incumbent government is corrupt, he added.
PPP chief further said that Imran Khan has been forcefully proven honest and imposed upon the nation, now the time has come to make the PM accountable.
