Imran’s narrative ponders his undemocratic thinking, says Bilawal Bhutto
LARKANA (Dunya News) – Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday, while launching a scathing attack on former prime minister, said the narrative of Imran Khan was a reflection of his undemocratic thinking and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman was doing politics of lies, hatred and incitement.
Speaking to the media in Larkana, he said the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) toppled his [Imran Khan] government and this would be the third parliament to complete the term as the general election in the country would be held at the scheduled time.

Bilawal said Imran Khan wanted the door of dictatorship open and he could once again become the prime minister through backdoor. “Khan Sahib s first obstinacy and conspiracy was to hold elections in the presence of his facilitators sitting in the Establishment and he came out successful,” he added.
The foreign minister said the PTI chairman had no more facilitators in the Establishment, adding that he might have facilitators in any other institution.
Bilawal House, not White House ousted Imran Khan
On Tuesday, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman said some people were trying to tear the country apart through baseless political narratives.
"Bilawal House, not White House ousted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan from power," he said.
Addressing the party’s power show at Garhi Khuda Bakhsh to mark the 15th death anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, he said those behind her mother s assassination wanted to halt PPP’s journey for supremacy of the democracy, adding that he would take his mother’s mission forward. Praising “jiyalas”, he said the masses loyalty to Benazir proved that they had not forgotten her political ideas.
“My mother was a patriotic Pakistani and her name was carved not only in country’s history but across the world. She was the voice of the poor, an ambassador for the destitute, a true supporter of democracy, and a strong answer to terrorists,” said Bilawal. “it is our responsibility to follow Bibi’s vision and achieve the mission she had set out on," the PPP chairman stressed.
“President Zardari and I tried to take her mission forward and whatever work is left will be completed in the next 15 years,” he promised.
Launching a tirade against PTI chief Imran Khan, he said Khan attacked the 18th amendment, which gives legislative and financial autonomy to the provinces, many times for his personal gains. "We ousted Imran Khan through a no-trust motion and saved the country from a fascist leader," thundered Bilawal.
The foreign minister held Imran Khan responsible for rising terror attacks in the country, saying he bent his knees in front of the proscribed TTP without asking people and parliament. He added that he would urge the government to review policy towards terrorism, adding that “we will have to quit that policy and establish the writ of the state.”
“Only the PPP has the ability to steer the country out of the prevailing crisis beacause we had dealt with the terrorists effectively in the past and will do so in future as well," he added.
