No favourite in darlings’ duel, says Bilawal
SUKKUR: The Pakistan People's Party has rejected the recommendations about forming an alliance with any political party in the general elections 2018.
The decision was taken during a high-level consultative meeting chaired by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday. Bilawal Bhutto said the PPP will contest elections on its own symbol and the party will nominate candidates in every constituency across the country.
He said they do not support anyone in the fighting of darlings. Both are favoured and fighting each other, said Bilawal jibing at his rivals Nawaz Sharif and Imran Khan.
Reiterating his support for PAT's Dr Tahirul Qadri, he said the PPP will support Qadri both morally and politically in his struggle for justice. However, the PPP will not become a party to any movement that may result in derailing the system or undermining parliament, he said. Referring to the upcoming general elections, Bilawal said the polls will be held on time and will be held in a peaceful manner.
The meeting also decided to give a strong response to PTI Chairman Imran Khan and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif. The PPP leadership has been given a clear policy that accusations from Imran will not be tolerated and will be responded accordingly. While mocking the PTI chairman, Bilawal said Imran Khan's tone gets harsh when he fails to attract crowds in Sindh and addresses empty chairs.
He said the PPP has also decided to launch a campaign against the PML-N in Punjab and said they will contest against that party. Bilawal termed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif as a compromised politician. He said Nawaz was never an ideological politician and could never become one.
Meanwhile, Bilawal once again reiterated that former military ruler Pervez Musharraf was responsible for Benazir’s assassination.
He said Musharraf was a "murderer" and he had "more blood" on his hands apart from that of Benazir Bhutto. "Musharraf must return to the country and face courts if he is not a coward," he added.
