Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday alleged that the housing scheme announced by the Prime Minister is a method to whiten black money. To make labourers unemployed was government’s conspiracy and under this conspiracy, employees of steel mill were made jobless.
Addressing a function to distribute flats in Sukkur, the PPP chairman said that a hospital and a vocational training institute would be set up in ‘Mazdoor City’. In this difficult time, we will build flats not for the rich but for the poor, said Bilawal.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the PPP is the voice of the workers. The federal government has destroyed health systems in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. “We will thwart any conspiracy of the anti-people government,” he said.
He said that the country’s industries cannot flourish until the government does something for the solution of problems and woes faced by the labourers.
Bilawal said that the Benazir Mazdoor Card would be rolled out soon, and through it, “no labourer would be left helpless during these hard times.”
“PPP stands like a wall against anti-labourer policies,” the PPP chairman said, adding that the government’s announcement of building houses proved to be a “conspiracy” against labourers.
“Despite limited resources, our work is in front of you,” Bilawal told the gathering, adding that the Centre was “taking away gas and the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases from the province”.
He further said that poor people were being left roofless in the name of encroachments — hinting at the anti-encroachment drive underway to clear Karachi’s nullahs.
