Bilawal Bhutto said that Sindh is not being given its resources.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said that Sindh’s rights are being robbed as Centre did not allocate anything for Karachi package in the federal budget.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto while addressing a ceremony on Benazir Bhutto’s birth anniversary, said that his party is trying to fulfill manifesto of Benazir Bhutto and live up to her expectations.
Lashing out at incumbent government, Bilawal said that Naya Pakistan of PTI is depriving people of basic necessities of life. He added that Sindh was facing biggest water shortage in 60 years and IRSA backed down after PPP raised its voice against it.
Bilawal Bhutto said that Sindh is not being given its resources but still it saw more economic development and reduction in poverty compared to other provinces. We would have performed ever better if Sindh was provided with its share of NFC award, he added.
Earlier, in a statement on the occasion of her 68th birth anniversary, Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that today when the governance of Pakistan has derailed, and the institutions, as well as the people of the country, are at the mercy of ruthless cartels, it is but natural for every Pakistani to miss the daughter of the East.
PPP Chairman, in a statement said that Benazir Bhutto is not solely Pakistan’s former Prime Minister; she is the name of a movement. He further said that such movements make a mark in the history of the world and are responsible for the birth of new progressive eras.
“As an elected Prime Minister, she supported the supremacy of the Constitution and Parliament. Simultaneously, she created institutions for people-friendly governance and ensured access to fundamental rights such as education, health, and employment for the underprivileged.”
Speaking of the struggles faced by the former PM during her life, Chairman PPP added that humanity is ashamed of the atrocities committed against Benazir Bhutto.
Bilawal further said that he would continue the struggle to fulfill the unfinished mission of his martyred mother to strengthen democracy and make Pakistan prosperous.
