In a significant address during a rally in Peshawar, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), launched a scathing critique against the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan. Bilawal highlighted the dramatic shift in Imran Khan’s stance, noting that the leader who once adamantly refused to give an NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) is now willing to negotiate with everyone.
Bilawal Bhutto took the opportunity to draw attention to the irony that Imran Khan, who once declared he would not give an NRO, now expresses a willingness to engage in dialogue with all parties. Emphasizing the turn of events, Bilawal pointed out that Imran Khan, who once vowed not to spare anyone, finds himself in jail today.
During his speech, Bilawal criticized Imran Khan for fostering a politics of hatred and urged against such divisive strategies. He reminded the audience of the surprise Imran Khan created by dissolving his own government, questioning how they felt about this unexpected turn of events.
Bilawal Bhutto also discussed the alleged victimization of women from political opponents’ families during the tenure of his party. He declared a commitment to refrain from arresting the daughters and sisters of political rivals during his government. Bilawal subtly referred to Nawaz Sharif, who he claimed had witnessed the arrest of his own daughter.
Furthermore, Bilawal Bhutto lauded Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, his grandfather, for presenting Pakistan with the gift of the atomic bomb. He praised the Pakistan Peoples Party as the representative of the common people, criticizing the misuse of funds in projects like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the Orange Line Metro Train.
In his concluding remarks, Bilawal Bhutto highlighted the pivotal role he believes the PPP plays in solving Pakistan’s issues. He presented the upcoming elections as a battle between the tiger (PML-N’s symbol) and the lion (PPP’s symbol), urging voters not to waste their ballots by supporting independent candidates. Bilawal Bhutto called for unity in supporting PPP candidates, claiming that only his party holds the solution to Pakistan’s challenges.
This speech by Bilawal Bhutto serves as a key moment in the ongoing political discourse, with the chairman of PPP addressing crucial issues and asserting the party’s position as a representative of the people’s interests.
