Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has severely criticised Prime Minister Imran Khan for "attacking media, democracy and the opposition's women." While speaking outside the Adiala Jail on Monday after meeting his father, former president and PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari, and his paternal aunt Faryal Talpur, Bilawal said, ""Niazi is a fascist who is attacking media and democracy and arresting the opposition's women."
Senior leadership of PPP and Zardari's defence counsel accompanied Bilawal during the visit. Bilawal claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan is using National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for political victimisation of opponent leaders instead of across the board accountability.
The PPP chairman said, "My party had sent Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq and General Pervez Musharraf (retd) packing, so what is this puppet then?"
Bilawal also vowed to expose the Prime Minister on every forum and said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is trying to pressurise him and his party. He said that the PTI government is not providing medical facilities to his father Asif Ali Zardari and "attempting to kill him," while Faryal Talpur was arrested from a hospital at midnight and shifted to Adiala Jail.
The PPP chairman said, "Our religion teaches us to respect women while the government has now disrespected the sanctity of veil and four walls of the home. Nevertheless, we will not back off from our viewpoint. Niazi is tormenting the Pakistani people but we won't tolerate it. All the economic classes are being crushed and yet every promise that Niazi made turned out to be a lie." He said that the Prime Minister had made a deal on Kashmir during his meeting with US President Donald Trump but "we won't let Niazi make deals on Kashmir."
