RAHIM YAR KHAN: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan may have surrendered on the issue of Panama Papers but the PPP will fight for accountability.
“Khan may surrender on Panama leaks but PPP will fight for accountability,” said Bilawal while addressing party workers at a gathering in Rahim Yar Khan on Thursday.
The PPP chief said the Panama Papers have exposed the world’s biggest corruption scandals and Nawaz Sharif would have to be held accountable for it.
Criticising the Punjab government, Bilawal said, “Takht-e-Lahore does not care about poor people but Bibi’s [Benazir’s] son is here.” He continued, “The PPP defeated Takht-e-Lahore in local government elections and it would also win the 2018 general elections.” Bilawal again demanded resignation from Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan over “non-implementation” of the National Action Plan (NAP). “The NAP is being implemented arbitrarily in the country and seems only to be operating in Karachi,” he said. Referring to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the PPP chairman termed it a gift from former president Asif Ali Zardari to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
