Resolution of people’s problems lies in ouster of PTI govt: Bilawal

KARACHI: Terming the PTI-led government the root cause of the crises being faced by the masses, PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari claimed on Sunday that the resolution of all the problems lies in toppling Prime Minister Imran Khan’s regime.

Expressing serious concern over the ongoing gas crisis across Pakistan, Bilawal  said that PM Imran Khan is continuously "creating problems and increasing the miseries of the people". The premier should apologise to the citizens who are "starving" due to the policies of the PTI-led government, he said.

Responding to a question about the prevailing gas crisis, the PPP leader said that there would be no gas crisis in the country if the government would have imported LNG timely.

By increasing the gas prices, the government put the utility out of the reach of the public, Bilawal said, adding that if the Pak-Iran gas pipeline project of their government would have been completed, there would be no energy crisis in Pakistan.

“Due to the incompetency of the government, industries are not able to fulfil their export orders today,” he added.

Government is getting success due to ‘other reasons’: Asif Zardari

On November 18, taking a jibe at the ruling party for bulldozing the electoral bills in a joint sitting of Parliament, former president Asif Zardari had said they [the PTI government] were using all their energy to sow the seeds of this legislation, but they will not benefit its fruits, and rather someone else will reap the benefits.

Questioned over the joint session being convened without taking the Opposition into confidence and whether the government succeeded in its plans, Zardari had replied the government was getting success due to other reasons. “And you know the other reasons better,” he said.

“The government is using all its energy to sow the seeds of this legislation, but someone else will benefit from its fruits,” the former president said.
