HYDERABAD: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said that the inflation and unemployment rate in the country has reached historic levels because of the “incompetent government,” so the PPP will march from Karachi to Islamabad to get rid of it “constitutionally and legally,” news channels reported.
Addressing a rally in Hyderabad, Bilawal said that the PPP has always stayed by the poor’s side and farmers were provided with their rights during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s tenure.
Criticising the PTI-led government, he said that owing to the growing inflation in the country, “farmers go to sleep on an empty stomach and they want us to solve their issues,” adding that the PPP has always had the stance that “a prosperous farmer means a prosperous country.”
He went on to say that the prime minister has “distributed the water throughout the country unjustly” and that the “economic slaughter of the farmers is intolerable.”
The PPP chairman further said: “During every budget meeting, we draw the government’s attention towards the economic policies and stress that it will result in the economic slaughter of the farmers but the government does not pay heed”.
Bilawal urged the public to rebel against the economic system to bring land reforms. Calling Imran Khan a “puppet”, he said that the country was self-sufficient during Zardari’s stint in power but has now become “helpless”.
“The only way to save the farmers and the country’s agriculture sector is to oust the PTI-led government,” he added.
