Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday vowed to send "selected and puppet prime minister” [Imran Khan] packing along with his “coterie of corrupt people”.
While addressing corner meetings in Darial and Thor in connection with the upcoming election in Gilgit-Baltistan, he said that the premier violated the election laws by visiting the region and said that he cannot give a package for the region due just days ahead of elections.
Bilawal asked the gathering what Imran Khan has given to the people of G-B in the last two years. "He takes U-turns and is a liar. Where are his 10 million jobs and five million houses," he questioned.
The PPP chairman said that Imran Khan is an “interim, puppet and selected prime minister who will be send packing with his coterie of corrupt people”.
Bilawal said that when the PPP will form the government in the region after the November 15 election, his party would provide local people jobs in Diamir-Bhasha dam project just like it did for the people of Thar in Sindh in Thar coal power project.
He said that former prime minister and founder of PPP Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had ended FCR and Rajgiri system and provided subsidy on food items, petrol and clothes.
Bilawal said that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto introduced democracy in G-B and allowed political parties to function whereas former president and co-chairman PPP Asif Ali Zardari gave identity to the people of the region by appointing first governor, chief minister and also provided 25,000 people jobs.
Chief Election Commissioner G-B, Bilawal claimed, was siding with the “puppet government” and speaking against his party, adding that Imran Khan wanted to snatch the subsidy for G-B which Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had given to the people but “we will not allow him to usurp the rights of the people”.
“Today every section of the society is protesting against this puppet and selected government, from lady health workers to doctors and from traders to government employees.”
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari further said that he will not leave the region before the November 15 polls.
