Bilawal proved that he is the son of brave and iron lady of Pakistan.
We are living in a time when most political leadership living in the boots and Bilawal is the politicians who said truth. History will keep remember his statement during worst ear of dictatorship than Zia.
Pakistan People?s Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said military spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor should not be giving political statements, hours after the latter accused Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) of anti-state activities.
The DG ISPR had said the state would take legal action against the PTM, alleging that the group had been receiving funding from Indian and Afghan intelligence agencies.
?I think if the government has something to say then a respective minister should come out and say it? we respect our institutions and don?t want to see them being made controversial in any way,? the PPP leader told a press conference.
Turning Prime Minister Imran Khan into his line of fire, he said: ?He [Imran] should not be making the military spokesperson give a political statement.?
When asked if his party backed the PTM, he said that,?Our party only supports the PPP alone. However, if other political groups stand for democracy and human rights then we back these ideas.?
Bilawal said the government in last nine months had failed to provide relief to the masses, adding that,?It is baffling to see how they [government] accept that they can?t help Pakistanis?.
He lambasted the National Accountability Bureau, doubling down on PPP supremo Asif Zardari?s statement earlier in the day that the economy could not flourish side by side with the country?s apex anti-graft body.
He termed NAB a tool being used to victimise the opposition parties, saying the accountability watchdog had filed references ?conveniently? against certain political leaders while letting others go scot-free.
PPP leader Sharjeel Memon, Bilawal said, had been languishing in jail but the charges against him were yet to be proven.
