Bilawal calls for no-confidence against PM

PPP chairman urges parties to consider democratic way of ousting regime

HYDERABAD:

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman has once again floated the idea of mounting a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan “to salvage the country and prevent further descent into financial crisis”.

Addressing the party's workers in Larkana district on Wednesday, Bilawal assessed that the government would not be able to survive another no-confidence motion if tabled in all assemblies, urging other political parties to consider this democratic way of ousting the regime.

He slammed the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) for “wreaking havoc on the ordinary people by inflicting unprecedented poverty, inflation and unemployment on them”.

"The country has not seen such inflation in 70 years of its existence," he stressed, adding that Inflation, unemployment and poverty have rocketed beyond all records. “The country has never seen as much inflation as it is witnessing today.”

“PM Khan’s policies are creating troubles, equally for the people and the institutions,” he added.

Bilawal claimed that every common man was looking towards the PPP at the moment, adding that his party “took people out of their miseries, while the current government is unleashing more troubles on them.”

Referring to his party’s announcement of launching a series of protests from October 29 to build momentum against the incumbent government, the Bhutto scion said people from all walks of life will take to the streets to protest their “economic murder” at the hands of the federal government.

He urged the masses to join the protest, saying that PPP workers will act as people's ambassadors.

"Now is the time for the nation to increase its struggle against injustice," he said.

Earlier he also held a meeting with the PPP's senior leader Syed Khursheed Ali Shah who has been recently released from the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
