MITHI (Dunya News) – Hitting at the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday said those coming to celebrate Diwali in Sindh are welcome but they won’t get any votes, Dunya News reported.
According to details, PPP chairman cut the Diwali cake at a celebration event and addressed a rally afterwards.
Lamenting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies, Bilawal said Modi government discriminates between Eid and Diwali, adding that Modi’s silence over minorities’ oppression is a slap on the face of India’s proclaimed secularism.
Bilawal celebrated Diwali in Mithi and conveyed the message of unity to the country’s Hindu community. He lashed out at opponents in his address saying that the Prime Minister came to Sindh to make promises but then left behind the ‘Ravana’ of Tharparkar.
The party workers started a sort of mini riot after the address and did whatever they can to grab the food and Diwali cake.
