DADU: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Saturday that Nawaz Sharif had left behind an ‘army’ of inefficient people.
Addressing a public rally in Dadu, he said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had failed to deliver. “Banned outfits cannot be allowed to resurface as political fronts. The state must do something in this regard,” he said.
He said that he had been urging the federal government for the past two and half years to implement the National Action Plan. “However, they have paid no heed. They only act when the United States threatens them,” he said.
The PPP chief said that “newcomer” politicians, who knew nothing about democracy, were talking about bringing a change. “They have not rendered any sacrifice for democracy or for strengthening the democratic state,” he said.
He also criticised the verdict in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case. “The people who confessed to the crime were set free. The biggest facilitator of the murder is an absconder and remains abroad,” he said.
The PPP chairman said that the party did not agree with the verdict.
