Responding to Bilawal Zardari’s press conference on the indictment of Asif Ali Zardari in Tosha Khana reference case, Punjab Information Minister Fayyazul Hassan Chohan on Wednesday said that calling accountability a joke by Bilawal Zardari was a heinous act.
“Bilawal Zardari’s criticism of the federal government is a useless attempt at covering up his and his father’s corruption, he claimed. Fayyazul Hassan Chohan said that despite the fact that the PPP has been in rule for the past 13-years in Sindh, unavailability of basic facilities for the masses and money laundering of billions through characters like Ayan Ali tantamount to a bigger joke with the masses. The cry for NRO behind Bilawal Zardari’s aggressive news conference is clear, Chohan said.
He said that PPP opposed anti-money laundering laws only to save its corrupt leaders. He said that corrupt practices of PPP pushed Pakistan to the grey list of FATF.
He further said that after enjoying the government in the shadow of dictatorship, PPP is desperately shifting the blame of its failure on the present government. The Punjab information minister said that Bilawal Zardari should take a look at Karachi submerged in rainwater before criticising the federation.
He also said that those who took credit for the 18th amendment have been unable to convey it’s fruits to the people of the provinces to-date.
The PTI government is moving towards implementing the 18th Amendment in its true letter and spirit, he added.
