PM running away from no-confidence motion: Bilawal Bhutto

Islamabad: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the prime minister, Imran Khan is running away from the no-confidence motion.

Chairman PPP talking to the media outside the Parliament building on Friday said that the Speaker is a facilitator of Imran Khan and is avoiding taking up no-confidence motion.

In the name of tradition, he is trying to protect Imran Khan. Chairman Bilawal said that in June 2012, PPP’s member National Assembly Fauzia Wahab had passed away and a new prime minister had to be elected. The PPP had fulfilled its constitutional responsibility.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that this government wanted to spread terror first by attacking Parliament lodges and then the Sindh House. The government wants to run away from the no-confidence motion but the opposition is united and will not let this person escape. How long will the PM be able to avoid the no-confidence? We will use the democratic weapon of no-confidence against this undemocratic person, Imran Khan. Chairman PPP felicitated the people of Pakistan who rejected Imran Khan. Imran Khan’s government has ended and soon he will be a former prime minister.

Responding to the questions of journalists, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the prime minister and the Speaker are both undemocratic. We are resisting all these undemocratic forces with democracy. Insha Allah, the next prime minister will be an elected prime minister. Neutrality is still continued and our long term struggle has been for this neutrality. This no-confidence is also a part of the same struggle.

Earlier on arrival at the parliament house responding a question from media the former President of Pakistan and President Pakistan People Party Parliamentarians, Asif Ali Zardari said that Insha Allah the things will be better. He said that if the Speaker does not allow tabling the no-confidence motion then we will protest. He said that the allies can form a government with the opposition. He said that he is 100% confident that the no-confidence will be successful.

Chairman PPP, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari talking to journalists in the parliament House said that everyone knows that victory is ours. We had total members of opposition. We will request for production order of Ali Wazir. The victory and defeat are as per Allah’s will but our preparations are complete. You will see what we do.
