‘PPP manifesto not made on others’ whims’

ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Monday said this party had crafted its own manifesto and it was framed on the whims or directions of others.

Addressing a corner meeting in connection with the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, he charged that Prime Minister Imran Khan was a liar playing politics of corruption, as corruption had increased in his two-year rule.

He said Imran had promised to eliminate corruption within 90 days and now he was saying that he had no button to switch it off. “We will not allow this puppet prime minister to snatch the rights of the people. At the same time, we will not let him hide his corruption and loot,” he said.

He asked why Imran suddenly thought it necessary to visit Gilgit-Baltistan during the election time and why he did not visit the area in the last two years. The PPP chairman said the prime minister had a fright when he saw thousands of people from Khaplu to Ghizar in the PPP corner meetings.

“He does not know that the people of Gilgit Baltistan are people of honor and loyalty and are with the party of martyrs,” he said. He said it galled Imran Khan to ask the honorable and loyal people of Gilgit-Baltistan for votes.

Bilawal said his grandfather Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto abolished the FCR and Rajgiri system in Gilgit-Baltistan.
