Bilawal Bhutto postpones PPP's political activities in Malakand
Finding no solution to terrorism in Pakistan is regretful, Bilawal said.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday has announced temporal halt of party’s political activities in Malakand.
Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, Bilawal said that he cannot risk lives of his party workers. Finding no solution to terrorism in Pakistan is regretful, he added.
Bilawal also complained of not getting equal opportunities for running election campaign, saying that PPP has been hindered on way during electioneering.
He further claimed that pre-poll rigging is being done in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and demanded to hold transparent elections. PPP has never called for elections delay, he clarified.
PPP chairman said that no reshuffle done in KP bureaucracy.
Earlier, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had strongly condemned the arrest of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supporters on the occasion of ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s arrival.
In a Twitter post, Bilawal asked, “On what grounds are PML-N workers and leaders being arrested? Why is Lahore under siege?”
He stated that arrest of former PM Nawaz Sharif after NAB conviction is legal but PML-N workers’ detentions should be clarified.
PPP chairman also termed the security plan of Lahore as bizarre as he was not allowed to leave for Peshawar. However, he was granted permission afterwards.
