One contesting polls to avoid jail, another to come out of it: Bilawal

FAISALABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that someone is contesting elections to avoid jail and the other to come out of jail.

Addressing a public rally in connection with the election campaign of the PPP in Tandlianwala, Faisalabad, he said, “We are contesting polls to save the people from poverty and unemployment. Other political parties do not have a manifesto. We have the manifesto of Shaheed Quaid-e-Awam and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto who gave us an ideology. We have a 10-point economic agenda for the people and if we come to power with your support, we will implement this agenda.”

He said that the party would form the federal government as well as the Punjab government. Bilawal said that he was delighted to be among the jiyalas of the party in the Punjab.

“Some forces are under the impression that by martyring Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, they could eliminate the PPP and will be able to crush the poor and stop your way. I want to give the message to them that we are not the ones who bow down and retreat,” Chairman Bilawal said and added, “We are the ones who are ready to contest against all the political forces and prove that the Bhutto of Punjab is still alive and we will snatch back our rights.”

“We will save the people from the anti-poor, anti-grower, and anti-people parties that have been imposed in Punjab,” he vowed. Chairman Bilawal asked for the support of the people to form an Awami government.
