PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari lashed out at the government on Sunday, saying that the space for provincial autonomy was being limited in Pakistan.
Terming July 5, 1977 as the darkest day in the history of Pakistan, the PPP chairman in his video message said that democracy in the country was still in its infancy period.
Bilawal said that the PPP is marking today as a ‘black day’ as on July 5, 1977, the constitution was suspended, democracy was wrapped up and the elected prime minister, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was removed,” the PPP leader said.
He said that the PPP has made and will continue to make, sacrifices for the constitution and democracy. Bilawal criticised the present government, complaining that the ground for implementation of provincial autonomy is deliberately being shrunk by authorities.
Referring to the deteriorating coronavirus and economic situation in the country, the PPP chairman said that rising unemployment across the country was making the poor even more poorer.
