Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday turned his guns towards Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party chief Mahmood Khan Achakzai after PTI-backed Sunni Ittehad Council nominated the latter as their presidential nominee on Saturday.
Addressing a press conference alongside newly elected Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti, Bilawal Bhutto said that Mahmood Khan Achakzai cannot call himself a “nationalist” as he becomes PTI candidate for president’s slot.
However, the PPP chairman said, he would continue to hold dialogue with nationalist parties. Bilawal outlined the party’s commitment to resolving the multifaceted challenges faced by Balochistan. Bilawal, along with the newly-elected Chief Minister of Balochistan, Sarfraz Bugti, and other PPP members, emphasised the importance of a collaborative and conciliatory approach to governance.
He highlighted that the PPP would work with all stakeholders, both inside and outside the provincial assembly, to address the problems confronting Balochistan. He expressed his intention to govern in accordance with the conciliatory thinking of his late mother, Benazir Bhutto, who advocated for inclusive and cooperative governance.
A meeting was held with Chief Minister Bugti and coalition parties, where Bilawal conveyed his commitment to implementing the PPP’s ideology in the province.
