Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday said both the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) had colluded to continue misleading the country's public.

Speaking at a gathering, Imran Khan said Bilawal is unable to understand that the time for dynastic politics has gone, while referring to him as 'baby' Bilawal during a public address in Malti.

Addressing the gathering, which is part of PTI's campaign for the second phase of the local government elections in Sindh, Imran questioned why Asif Ali Zardari was not among the people.

Not only army, people also demand better governance: Imran Khan

"You can no longer use your grandfather's and mother's picture at your back to call yourself a leader and get votes," said Imran.

Earlier, in a first, Pakistan Peoples Party chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari joined the Hindu community in Tharparkar in their Diwali celebration and used the occasion to take a jab at all his political adversaries.

From Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif and PTI chief Imran Khan, Bilawal spared no one.

Bilawal takes a jab at political adversaries

The public meeting hosted by the PPP in Mithi taluka’s Marvi sports ground was attended by over 10,000 people from different parts of the desert. Bilawal cut the cake, watched a tableau and a dandia dance performance by the children. “Every house here is lit with the diya [earthen lamps] for Diwali,” he observed, while extending greetings to the Hindu community on Diwali.

However, a major part of his speech was dominated by criticism of political adversaries and the growing religious intolerance in the neighbouring country. “Religious freedom and communal harmony is being destroyed in India,” he said. “It’s a slap on India’s secular face."

ziaurrehman | 8 years ago | Reply @pak47. It's unreasonable to compare Bilawal bhutto with Treadue. Treadue came to top of liberal party by following a process whereas Baby Bilawal bhutto became chief of PPP based on one piece of paper which many ppp stalwarts dispute.. so be sensible please
Rex Minor | 8 years ago | Reply It is very natural for PPP to hold on to the principles of their late famous political leaders, the privileage that the former cricketer does not have. I am sure that no one in the country will object to Mr Khan playing the music of Morricone in "once upon a time in the west", recalling his short episodes with Jemima and Reham. Rex Minor
