‘Big story’ to debunk PTI’s ‘Form 45-47’ rigging narrative soon; Wants Imran to face consequences for remarks against army chief
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday expressed strong disapproval of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan’s alleged statements targeting Chief of Army Staff Syed Asim Munir and Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa cautioning that such actions would have serious consequences.
Addressing a National Assembly session chaired by Deputy Speaker Ghulam Mustafa Shah, the PPP chief praised the people of Rahim Yar Khan for rejecting divisive politics, stating, “The people of Rahim Yar Khan have defeated the politics of hatred, division, and backbiting. I extend my gratitude to them.”
Bilawal further noted the victory of the party’s candidate in Punjab, attributing it to the defeat of “the politics of backbiting and hatred.”
Turning his attention to Imran Khan, Bilawal alleged that the deposed premier had attacked constitutional institutions to further his political interests.
“Prisoner number 804 has attacked every institution in the country to secure personal relief,” Bilawal said, referencing Imran’s criticism of the judiciary and military “Prisoner number 804 has attacked every institution in the country to secure personal relief,” Bilawal said, referencing Imran’s criticism of the judiciary and military leadership. Bilawal warned that if the PTI founder’s alleged statement was authentic, the consequences would follow, as mandated by the constitution. He urged PTI leadership to clarify whether the statement came from Imran or was the work of someone else within the party. “Imran Khan and his party will be responsible for the consequences if the statement is proven to be his,” Bilawal stressed, adding that the democratic system would withstand such challenges. Bilawal praised his party’s Southern Punjab organisation, commending their resilience in confronting lies through the power of the vote. He urged political parties to accept election outcomes and emphasised the importance of trusting the people’s decisions for the future of democracy.
He further stated that the people of Pakistan are no longer supporting conspiracies or abusive language, particularly referencing “Prisoner 804” (Imran Khan), who he claims is isolated in his political stance. The PPP chairman also criticised attempts to politicise the appointment of the army chief, recalling that as Director General of the ISI, General Asim Munir exposed corruption linked to the PTI founder.
He added that, instead of acting on corruption, Imran Khan had replaced the intelligence chief at the time. Bilawal hinted at the disclosure of a major conspiracy about the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s “Form-45 and Form-47” narrative, according to which the Imran Khan-founded party claims large-scale rigging in the February 8 general elections. “These people [PTI] have been scheming around the Form-45 and Form-47. A big story about it is going to unfold soon.
