The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf on Tuesday, in a statement, said that Bilawal’s move is merely a ploy to deceive the public after being rejected in the elections.
In a response to Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s press conference, where he announced support for the Pakistan Muslim League-N’s prime ministerial candidate while refraining from participating in the government at the Centre, the spokesperson accused him of orchestrating a new drama, describing their actions as an attempt to mislead the people.
“If Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s thinking were truly democratic, he would have recognised the available public mandate to PTI instead of siding with the pirates of Jati Umrah, the Sharif family,” the PTI spokesperson declared, adding that the PPP has a dark history regarding the recognition of public mandates.
The spokesperson further criticized Bilawal’s attempt to keep his family’s political legacy alive through alleged corruption and power-sharing influenced by Zardari’s cues. Drawing on historical events, the PTI spokesperson asserted that PPP’s facilitation had once led to the secession of Pakistan’s eastern wing, now known as Bangladesh, due to open contempt for public mandate.
“Today, Zardari’s son is trying to keep his family and hereditary politics alive through blatant corruption and power-sharing on Zardari’s cues,” the spokesperson remarked.
The PTI spokesperson emphasised that Bilawal’s distancing from the PML-N after the distribution of constitutional, government, and parliamentary positions would not sway public opinion.
