Bilawal Bhutto says, PDM parties seem to be confused
CHARSADDA: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday said that every political party has its own ideology and manifesto, therefore, they should be respected.
He said that the idea of forming the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was put forward by the PPP, however, neither the PPP nor the ANP attended the meeting of the PDM a day ago, he said.
Bilawal was speaking to the media after visiting Wali Bagh in Charsadda along with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah to offer condolences over the death of Begum Naseem Wali Khan.
It seemed like the parties of the PDM are confused,” said Bilawal. “Opposition parties should at least not get confused in the parliament.”
He added that all those political parties which are clear about their political stance are in a better position to give a tough time to the PTI-led government.
Speaking about the relationship of the PPP with ANP, he said that the two parties hold both political and ideological connection.
“We want a peaceful and progressive Pakistan,” Bilawal said, adding that PPP’s role in working towards the rights and self-determination of provinces will become part of history.
“We will stand before this ineligible, selected government like a wall and fight against it,” he said. “Together with the ANP, we will work both inside and outside of the parliament.”
Bilawal said that had the Opposition worked on the no-confidence motion, neither Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar nor PM Imran Khan would be in their offices.
Speaking on the occasion, Central Senior Vice-President of the ANP Ameer Haider Khan Hoti thanked the PPP leadership for consoling him in his hour of grief.
He said that the PPP and ANP had both been rivals and allies in politics, adding that whenever it came to the Constitution, the two parties worked together.
“Even under the current political scenario, both PPP and ANP have an important role to play, which they will continue while occuyping the benches of the Opposition,” Hoti said.
