PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday heaped scorn on Prime Minister Imran Khan’s admission that his government suffered from a lack of preparation in its starting months, telling the premier that he should “go home” if he couldn’t provide solutions to people’s problems.
Addressing the groundbreaking ceremony of the Malir Expressway project in Karachi, Bilawal said Prime Minister Imran’s remarks that his administration was undergoing “training” for a good part of its first year was a “joke” with the country.
“What was he doing in KP for seven years if he wasn’t preparing [for the Centre]? How was the ’22-year struggle’ that we keep hearing about not helping in the preparation?” he asked, referring to the premier.
Bilawal’s remarks come two days after Prime Minister Imran said that never should a new government come to power without doing its homework and without getting briefings.
“When I review my performance, we took three months only to understand [issues as] everything that we had been looking at from outside was altogether different after we came to power.
“I must also share, for one-and-a-half years we remained unable to even know the actual figures of different sectors, particularly the power sector. From one ministry at times the figures indicated we were performing very well and then sometimes some other figure showed we were not performing that well,” he had said at an event in Islamabad.
