DG ISPR's press conference a breeze of fresh air for democracy: Bilawal

KARACHI: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto has said that the PTI lawmakers would not quit the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies.

He said that institution’s apolitical stance has got puppet politicians worrying about their future.

Addressing a rally held in connection with PPP’s 55th foundation day here on Wednesday, Bilawal said that the institution had admitted its mistake. But now, the puppet politicians are worried that if the institution has become neutral, then what will become of their politics.

Bilawal vowed to thwart anti-democratic forces, adding the PPP will continue fighting against the enemies of democracy.

He said that chaos was being spread to save watch thief Imran Khan, his sister Aleema Khan, Farah Gogi from accountability.

Earlier in October, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari called PTI Chairman Imran Khan a “liar and a hypocrite” and said it was time for him to bid farewell to politics and sit at home.

Addressing an event arranged by his party to celebrate the victory of PPP’s Abdul Hakeem Baloch in the NA-237 by-election, the foreign minister, while berating Khan, said that owing to the actions of the “incompetent and inept” former premier, the country’s foreign policy had to suffer a serious blow.

At the outset of his speech, the foreign minister thanked the people of Malir for coming out of their houses to cast votes in favour of the PPP candidate in the October 16 by-election, and appreciated them for “always resisting the dictator of every era”.

“Akin to the past, the people of Malir also fought against this selected leader,” Bilawal said, adding that just like they resisted the dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq and Pervez Musharraf, they also stood up to Khan.
