ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Thursday said his party will not support the government's legislation that was being brought to facilitate the RAW agent Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav.
Talking to the media at the Parliament House, he said the government brought the bill in the darkness of night for an individual, but he did not take advantage of this bill. “Now, they are bringing this bill to the assembly and we will oppose it because we were not taken into confidence,” he said. The PPP chairman said the PPP will not become a party to facilitate Kulbhushan Jadhav. “If Imran Khan wants to facilitate Jadhav, he can do so, but we will not support it,” he said.
Bilawal said the PPP didn’t trust Prime Minister Imran Khan’s statement on airbases to the US, as he was used to taking U-turns.
“We do not trust the prime minister because he takes U-turns and we are concerned that he might take a U-turn on this as well,” he said. He said as for giving airbases to the United States, it was up to the government and he hoped that the decisions would be in the interest of Pakistan.
Replying to yet another question about Afghanistan, Bilawal said he had a point in his budget speech about it because Pakistan had been dealing with this situation since1980.
“Whatever happens in Afghanistan will impact the entire region and the world. We will have to face the consequences for decades for the decisions we make about Afghanistan now. This is why the PPP demanded on the floor of the House that the ministries and institutions involved in negotiations should bring the negotiation either through in-camera or on record. The PPP has a viewpoint and it should be heard.”
“We will hear them out with an open mind and heart, but the way our government and international powers are handling the situation is not making things easy for Pakistan and Afghanistan and our coming generations and we have to address it,” he said.
