KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday said that his party parted ways with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) after the former ruling party compromised on the sanctity of vote.
“As long as PMLN’s narrative remained vote ko izzat do, we kept along but when this narrative changed, staying together became difficult,” the former foreign minister said while speaking to the media in Karachi’s Ibrahim Hyderi.
Bilawal once again reiterated his stance on the absence of equal opportunities as a political party, saying the PPP never got a level playing field in any election. However, he said the PPP will win the election this time even without one. “Our connection is with the nation while others have with special selection teams.”
Bilawal further said the PPP’s stance has always been that the elections should be conducted. However, the narrative of “others” was different earlier compared to now, he added without naming anyone.
Speaking about the newly-formed alliance between the PMLN and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), the top PPP leader said that both parties would lose due to this union.
