Bhutto Jr to launch party, slams 'loot in people's name'

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Junior, grandson of ex-PM Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, has announced plans to launch a new political party, pledging to address the "real needs of the people".

Speaking at a press conference at the Lahore Press Club on Saturday, Bhutto Jr. said the time had come to expand the political vision of his grandfather. "After roti, kapra aur makaan, the people now need electricity, gas and water," he said.

During Saturday's press conference, Bhutto Jr also blasted President Asif Ali Zardari, accusing him of co-opting the iconic slogan "Jeay Bhutto" to advance corruption rather than uphold the Bhutto family's legacy.
