Karachi: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday urged the Sindh government to give priority to solving the problems of the people in the case against Imran Khan.
Addressing a meeting of the Sindh PPP Parliamentary Party, Bilawal said that people are more concerned about their daily struggles than the former prime minister’s legal battle.
“People want their problems solved and not Imran Khan’s problem,” Bilawal said. “We must focus our work to meet their needs.”
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has ordered a stricter investigation of the cabinet and held ministers accountable.
Bilawal also said that the ministers should act properly and the MPs should be more active in their duties.
The PPP chairman emphasized the party’s 5-year plan to improve the economy and social affairs, prioritizing the welfare of workers and the community.
People cited the bus service as an example of the party’s focus on delivering results despite limited resources.
Bilawal also highlighted the problem of law and order by linking the proliferation of modern weapons among criminals to state policies. He called for an end to the policy of transferring police posts and expressed confidence in the Sindh Police and promised to appoint officers in the service.
Highlighting the difficult financial situation, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said funding for projects in Sindh from the federal government is “certain”.
“The projects that will receive funding from the federal government are not certain,” he said while addressing the parliament of the Sindh PPP chapter on Wednesday.
The statement by Bilawal, whose party is an ally of the Pakistan-based Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, drew protests from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, who is backed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). against the Center on arrears.
The PPP chief said he would work to ensure the release of funds from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led coalition government at the centre.
“We will do our best and I know that all these issues will be resolved before the budget,” he said, expressing hope that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would fulfill his promise.
The PPP chairman said in the same media that the entire country is disappointed because of the “terrible politics” prevailing in Islamabad.
“Muslims are deeply disappointed by the divisive and hateful politics prevailing in Islamabad.”
The Bhutto family stressed the need to improve governance and called for an end to the “pass and send” policy.
Bilawal explained that the main goal of politics is to serve the people of the country and encourage the rulers to focus more on the people’s affairs instead of getting involved in politics.
In the same media, Bilawal complained about the “indolence” witnessed among the elected representatives in Sindh.
“We got good news about some reports, bad news about some ministers,” he said.
He also told the party members that they cannot win the election because of their development plans.
