Opposition being targeted in the name of accountability: Bilawal

Lahore (Staff Report): Pakistan Peoples' Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday said that political victimisation is being pursued in the name of accountability.

He was speaking via video link to mark the 91st birth anniversary of PPP founder and former prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.

The PPP chief said that the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) report on the money laundering case was leaked out due to a planned conspiracy.

Criticising the policies of the government, Bilawal said that the incumbent government lacks the capability to run the government.

"They are running the government only be levelling allegations against the opposition leaders because they failed to fulfil the expectations of the the masses".

Bilawal said that the democratic struggle of the country cannot be stopped by victimisation of the opposition in the name of accountability.

Bilawal said that the JIT report named Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and former CM Qaim Ali Shah without taking the responses.

“When will there be accountability against those who stole the votes of millions of people”, the PPP leader questioned.

Bilawal asserted that the country will run only according to the constitution given by PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.

The PPP chief said that the 18th amendment is being targeted, and the country’s federation is under threat due to the negligence being shown against the smaller provinces.
