F.P. Report
SHANGLA: Asserting that he was not familiar with the politics of gate No 4 (doing politics under the patronage of the country’s establishment), former foreign minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Thursday that he always looked to masses for support.
Addressing a public gathering at Shangla, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Bilawal said he was the grandson of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) who would say that people were the repository of all power.
He reiterated that the politics being done by aged politicians was old-fashioned. “I have been into politics since I was 19,” he said.
In an apparent reference to the PTI, PPP chairman said that his party was not acquainted at all with the politics of mudslinging and character assassination which PTI workers and supporters indulged in on social media such as TikTok.
Asserting that he wanted to work for the country’s labourers, Bilawal said these were poverty and unemployment the PPP was pitted against. “No country can progress until and unless its labour class is prosperous.”
Referring to the statement made by former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif that investors should not be asked about the source of their money, he said that after coming to power the party would definitely ask them about it.
“After coming to power, we will give special cards to the youth under which they will be given stipends and other facilities,” the PPP chairman announced.
