Minutes after PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari vowed to launch a movement to topple the PTI-led government at Centre, ministers belonging to PTI hit back at Sindh’s ruling party accusing it of corruption and plundering national wealth.
Bilawal, while addressing a public gathering to mark the 14th death anniversary of slain former premier Benazir Bhutto in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, had announced that his party will launch a decisive movement against PTI-led government on January 5, 2022 with a rally in Lahore – the former bastion of PPP.
Reacting to Bilawal’s tirade, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry lamented that “small politicians made petty statements” on the occasion of Benazir’s death anniversary.
In a tweet from his official handle, Fawad said a major political party like PPP had been destroyed by former president Ali Zardari and his son, Bilawal.
“Politics of high stature politician like Bhutto has been taken over by political dwarfs. This happens when political parties do not have any structure,” he added.
دکھ کی بات ہے کہ بینظیر بھٹو کی برسی پر چھوٹے چھوٹے سیاستدان اپنے قد سے بھی چھوٹی باتیں کر رہے ہیں پیپلز پارٹی جیسی بڑی سیاسی پارٹی کو زر داریوں نے ٹکے ٹوکری کر دیا بھٹو جیسا قد آور سیاستدان کی سیاست آج سیاسی بونوں کے حوالے ہے، یہ نقصان ہوتا ہے جب سیاسی جماعتوں کا سٹرکچر نہ ہو۔

Similarly, State Minister for Information Farrukh Habib said the PPP-led Sindh government has ruined the province during its 13 years in power.

“Corruption, plunder, fake bank accounts have become their [PPP leaders] identity.”
“Unfortunately, Bilawal has become the protector of Zardari's corruption instead of carrying forward the mission of Bibi Shaheed [Benazir Bhutto],” he added.

2023 کے الیکشن میں پیپلز پارٹی کا سندھ سے بھی خاتمہ ہونے جارہا ہے۔
سندھ میں اندھیر نگری چوپٹ راج ہے، سندھ کے عوام ان کرپٹ حکمرانوں سے نجات مانگ رہے ہے
Farrukh said Bilawal should stop worrying about Punjab and added that PPP under Zardari’s leadership will not be able to form government in Sindh after the 2023 general elections.
Maritime Affairs Minister Ali Zaidi accused former president Asif Zardari of inflicting the most damage to the PPP, saying that the national party has been turned into a regional party.
He said it did not suit political parties with hereditary leaders to lecture us on democracy.
“First establish democracy within your [PPP] party, then talk about the democratic system of the country,” Zaidi said.
