Karachi: Federal foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Tuesday has alleged Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) of using government resources for long march against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.
Talking to media, the minister said that that the workers are being given money to make the march successful. PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto should first provide record of their 15-year regime in Sindh, he added.
FM Qureshi said that inundating the rally venue with dirty water doesn’t come under politics. Fake steps of PPP government show its fall in the province is near, he went on to say.
Earlier, foreign minister Qureshi said that we want to hold PPP accountable for the previous 15 years they were in power.
While talking to the Haqooq-e-Sindh March rally, the PTI leader said that we are not afraid of accountability because we have nothing to hide. He also said that PPP has governed Sindh for the last 15 years.
The federal minister further said that today no one owns responsibility of the garbage problem in Karachi neither does anyone cleans the drains of the port city. Meanwhile, people are being robbed at gun point in broad daylight in Karachi, he added.
He further stated that his ties with Sindh are hundreds of years old and he has come to awaken the people of the province and empower them to claim their rights.
On the other hand, Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday reducing price of petrol by Rs10 after increasing it by Rs12 is an attempt to fool public.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, while addressing participants of the long march, he said that at present the price of everything including electricity, gas, petrol is sky high. This is not new Pakistan but an expensive Pakistan, he added.
PPP Chairman said that as soon as Imran Khan came into power, they first robbed the farmers with unfair distribution of water.
Reacting to Prime Minister’s address to nation, Bilawal Bhutto said that the head of the country came on TV and started crying over criticism of media. They do not have the courage to listen to criticism.
