Sharifs held Punjab as their hostage: Bilawal

Lahore/Faisalabad (Staff Report): Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari began an anti-government rally from Lahore which aims to put pressure on the government to accept his 'four demands'.

According to details, rally caravan of PPP’s supporters led by Bilawal will reach Faisalabad. PPP supporters are showing their excitement for the rally by dancing on the beat of Dhol, while the women have donned Henna and bangles, as part of the celebrations.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said while addressing workers at the Sagina Bridge, Lahore, "I have begun a movement which will continue till the remains of Zia are eliminated."

He said that the Sharifs have held Punjab as their hostage and servants. They have occupied the land of the Sufis, he added.

Prior to his departure from Bilawal House, Lahore, a PPP parliamentarian from Punjab Nadeem Afzal Channa tied an Imam Zamin on his arm.

The PPP parliamentarian said while speaking to the media, “We are out to fight corrupt rulers.”

The party co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari spoke to Bilawal over the phone hours before the rally.
