Imran’s efforts to turn ‘institutions into tiger force’ will fail again: Bilawal

PPP chief calling PTI chairman ‘ghari chor’ asks if he had dissolved assemblies as claimed

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has hit out at PTI chief Imran Khan, saying that “his efforts to turn institutions into his tiger force will fail again”.

In a tweet from his official handle, the PPP chairman calling Imran “ghari chor” [watch thief] —a reference to Toshakhana case — asked if he had dissolved Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkwa assemblies as he claimed he would.

“I heard ghari chor [watch thief] did a press conference. Did he dissolve KP & Punjab assemblies? Of course not.”

I heard ghari chor did a press conference. Did he dissolve KP & Punjab assemblies? Of course not. His efforts to turn institutions into his tiger force to do his unconstitutional bidding failed before and will fail again.

His statement came after Imran earlier in the day accused former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa of giving “NRO-2” — a reference to amnesty granted by former military ruler Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf – to incumbent rulers.

“The first NRO was granted by General Musharraf and the second one was given by the one who was in power,” he said while addressing a press conference in Lahore.

He also called upon institutions to pave way for general elections in the country to avert “looming default”, saying the incumbent rulers would never call early polls “amid fears of defeat”.

“His [Imran] efforts to turn institutions into his tiger force to do his unconstitutional bidding failed before and will fail again,” Bilawal added in the tweet.
