Pakistan People’s Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday said that the countdown had begun for Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government and predicted that the latter will flee to London after leaving his chair.
“We will bring no-confidence motion against the prime minister. The person sitting on the [prime minister’s] chair has no future [in this country] and he will flee to London after leaving it,” he said while addressing a crowd at the Sindh-Punjab border town of Gothki.
The PPP chief said that the ‘puppet’, a term he uses to address Imran Khan, who used to say that inflation is a global phenomenon hence he cannot give relief to the people, was compelled to reduce the prices of petrol and electricity due to his party’s long march. “The puppet in fact used gimmickery because just a few days ago he had increased petrol price by Rs12 per litre and just a day ago he had increased power tariff by Rs6 and then announced reducing that to 10 and 5 rupees respectively.
This Naya Pakistan of the puppet is an expensive Pakistan,” he added. The PPP chief said that Imran Khan was the first ruler in Pakistan who ‘cried’ on national television and said that the media criticised him. “Who is this clown to tell the media and the people not to criticise him. Media always criticises the government but this puppet wants to be a dictator.
He wants to gag the media and the people.” Bilawal said that there was an order issued during the “selected government” that the media should do ‘positive reporting’, adding that now PM Imran has promulgated Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) amended law, “but we do not accept it”.
