"If you don't vote, then a puppet will rule you", Bilawal Bhutto

PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday urged the people of Gilgit-Baltistan to shape their own fate by making the right choice on election day and to exercise their right to vote instead of abstaining from it.

"If you don't vote, then a puppet will rule you," he warned.

Bilawal said that voices demanding the construction of roads and threatening a boycott of voting have been growing louder. "I hear slogans such as 'no road, no vote' are being raised. Removing yourself from the voting process is not the path to success," he said.

The PPP chairman urged the people to vote for his party, saying: "I will resolve all your problems."

Bilawal, inaugurating the party's election campaign office in the district's Nasirabad area, said: "I'm moving around every nook and corner of Gilgit-Baltistan".

He said: "I have to fulfil the mission of Shaheed Bibi. We will give the people of this area their rights."

"We are related to the people of this area for the last three generations and we have to revive again this relationship," Bilawal said.

The PPP chairman promised to provide jobs to local residents in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.

He said that Gilgit-Baltistan is at the doors of CPEC but people here ask where CPEC is.

Bilawal also vowed to make Gilgit-Baltistan a constitutional province.

He promised that the party will play its due role to save the people from difficulties, especially at a time when coronavirus is raging in the country.

Mustafa Kamal blames PPP for the issues faced by the Sindh province

Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chairman Mustafa Kamal on Sunday lamented the opposition alliance-Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)- and said that none of their leaders spoke on the issues faced by the city during their Karachi rally.

Addressing a public gathering of PSP at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Mustafa Kamal blamed Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) for the issues faced by the Sindh province especially Karachi.

“PPP remained in power in Karachi during the past 12 years, however, a speech from Bilawal Bhutto during the PDM rally gave an impression that his party had never ruled in the province,” he said while lamenting the provincial government.

He said that more than seven million children are out of schools in the province and there is a shortage of dog-bite vaccines even after the 12-year rule of the PPP in the province. “We have not witnessed such a situation in the history of this province,” he said adding that Bilawal Bhutto lied during the PDM rally and now Karachi would respond to him.

While terming PSP as the real stakeholder of the city, Mustafa Kamal said that gone are the days when the city was forced to shut down on a single call and when Karachi issues were set aside for political gains on a single call from Rehman Malik.

“We now own this city,” he said while announcing the PPP rule from Sindh is over from now onwards.
