KARACHI: Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has warned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to desist from treating the country as his family-owned Ittefaq Foundry, targeting the working and labour class in the country and restrict his Gullu Butts from threatening the innocent protesting PIA employees.
“Let the message be clear to all and sundry… the PPP stood by the working and labour class from its very inception. We fought together with them for their rights and will continue to stand by our brothers and sisters from working classes come what may,” Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said in a statement issued here on Saturday.
The PPP chairman asked his party leaders, workers and all the Jiyalas to join the protests of PIA employees, including the Peoples Unity of PIA and tell the Nawaz Sharif government in unison that we all are one and we won’t allow our nation’s assets to be distributed among Sharif cronies in the name of so-called privatisation.
He further said that holding peaceful protests and demonstrations was the democratic right of the people of Pakistan but Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif seems to be living under the world of dictator Ziaul Haq using violence against protesters.
Bilawal also warned the PML-N government to produce PIA's Peoples Unity leaders Hidayatulah and others who had been kidnapped by “Sharif’ sleuths” and arrest the killers of innocent PIA employees without any delay.
He said that the Nawaz government was wasting billions of rupees on boondoggle projects causing colossal losses to the national economy and pursuing an anti-labour policy to snatch livelihood of millions of Pakistanis. He also condemned the PML-N conspiracies against the 70,000 federal government employees whose services were regularised by the PPP government and asked the prime minister to desist from any move to turn them jobless.
