ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan People’s Party Co-Chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said after 18th Amendment, the provinces got institutions not the resources.
In a brief conversation with journalists at Naudero on Saturday, he said the red light must not be crossed regarding the 18th Amendment, as such an attempt would not be tolerated. He said the selected premier’s politics starts from National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and ends at the Bureau. "NAB is a draconian institution to victimise the opposition."
The PPP leader said the premier is not serious in eliminating corruption and alleged that he manufactures fake graft cases against the opposition. "Justice doesn't discriminate. He said it is strange that Nawaz Sharif was granted bail and Shahbaz’ name was removed from the Exit Control List.
He said this is outright discrimination and selective justice as some people are meted out harsh treatment while others were dealt with lightly. Furthermore, he said a federal minister faces too many charges but no one can arrest him," he said.
Bilawal alleged that at least three federal ministers have links with terrorists. "As many as three federal ministers are close aides of terrorists. Rather than taking away their cabinet portfolios, the government recently appointed one like them," the PPP chairman referred to the appointment of Brigadier (retd) Ijaz Shah as federal parliamentary affairs ministers. The PPP leader said for the sake of a better future there is a dire need to take action against terrorists and members of proscribed organisations.
The PPP chairman said while the premier holds the right to appoint people in the cabinet but what message does he want to give by appointing terrorists as federal cabinet ministers.
He said the political rivals are also calling Karvan-e-Bhutto as the train march."The opposition won't be pressurised by the government and the PPP won't let government snatch peoples' right," he added. Bilawal said PM Khan gave an inappropriate statement about Afghanistan, adding that he wants to see the Afghan crisis resolved by the Afghan representatives.
Targeting security forces dedicated to maintaining law and order is outright act of terrorism, says Bilawal
