Hyderabad: Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said their Karachi-Peshawar march would oust the PTI governemnt of power as inflation and unemployment rate in the country have reached at alarming levels.

The growing inflation in the country have pushed farmers to sleep on an empty stomach and "they (farmers) want us to solve their issues".

The PP leader was addressing a rally in Hyderabad.

Bilawal said that the PPP has always stayed by the poor’s side and farmers were provided with their rights during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s tenure.

He went on to say that the prime minister has "distributed the water throughout the country unjustly" and that the "economic slaughter of the farmers is intolerable."

The PPP chairman further said: “During every budget meeting, we draw the government’s attention towards the economic policies and stress that it will result in the economic slaughter of the farmers but the government does not pay heed”.

Bilawal urged the public to rebel against the economic system to bring land reforms. Calling Imran Khan a “puppet”, he said that the country was self-sufficient during Zardari’s stint in power but has now become "helpless”.

“The only way to save the farmers and the country's agriculture sector is to oust the PTI-led government,” he added.

Talking about PPP's long march that is set to take place on January 27, Bilawal said that the party will march from Karachi to Islamabad to get rid of the government "constitutionally and legally."

While addressing the jalsa, he said that people will not be able to fight for their rights as long as ethnic and linguistic conflicts don’t end in the country, adding that the "PPP will ensure everyone whether they speak Sindhi, Pushto or Urdu will not be treated unjustly”.

He also said that the members of the incumbent government belonging to Sindh are trying to harm their own province.

“People are aware of the PTI’s reality and those who are not faithful to their leader will not be faithful to the country either,” he added.

Talking about PTI leaders, Bilawal went on to say that "they were involved in terrorism and are enemies of this city and province."

“Our local government will bring economic stability,” said Bilawal, adding that, “those who call it a black law will have their image tarnished”.

Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Pakistan’s farmers, agriculture and economy can only be protected after the puppet Prime Minister Imran Khan is all set to leave for home. He has ruined the country. However, his removal should be quite through lawful and democratic measures.

He was addressing to the participants of the country’s longest “Tractor March” in history which was organised by farmers on the ongoing fertilizer crisis in the country over non-receipt of fair and equitable prices of crops and PPP’s appeal against inflation.

The PPP chairman said that people’s rule has to be established by removing the selected government.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the ineligible government that lacks everything to run the country has left country’s agricultural economy in a devastated condition while the people especially the crops growers are pinned to wall.

The ineligibility of this incumbent poor government has brought multiple crises and each only inflicted irreparable loss to country’s backbone sectors.

He said that the cash crops are not getting a fair price while the farmers have been left on mercy of the nature. In addition, cash crops are being damaged due to unfair distribution of water.

He further said that the wrong policies of the government have not only ruined the agricultural economy but also endangered food security.

He said that a few days ago farmers staged protests in districts of Punjab and Sindh as in Sahiwal, Layyah and Larkana. We are leaving the villages and standing in the city center to convince the rulers to solve the problems of the farmers.

He was of the view that that the prosperity of the farmers is equal to the prosperity of the entire nation.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reminded that when PPP was in power, it worked positively for the betterment of all sectors especially the agriculture. However, farmers are anxious to get a bag of fertilizer by standing in long queues for fertilizer today.

The PPP chairman pointed out that the country was suffering from problems even under President Pervez Musharraf. The crisis was overcome and we were able to export surplus wheat abroad. “Farmers are being killed economically today, which we will not tolerate,” he said.

Today the farmer goes to bed empty stomy, and it is feared that the food insecurity will drive the entire nation to devastation. At present, inflation and unemployment in the country have reached historic levels. We are tired of pointing out problems in the National Assembly but no action is being taken by the government. The selected government has no concern for the farmers.

Bilawal Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that if any government had any sympathy towards the farmers and the people in the country, it was the PPP leadership.

Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, and former President Asif Ali Zardari had deep concern of the people. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto rebelled against the system of the country and gave rights to farmers, carried out historic land reforms, gave land ownership rights to farmers, while Shaheed Benazir Bhutto also loved farmers immensely.


The PPP chairman said that if Pakistan’s economy is to be saved then Imran Khan has to be ousted peacefully, lawfully and by all democratic norms and values. We have decided that we will leave Karachi on February 27. The people of Hyderabad will also join us and the people there. We will send this government home in a democratic, legal and constitutional way with the support of the nation.

He while criticising the ruling coalition said that the facilitators of the selected government belonging to Sindh are conspiring to harm Sindh. They are trying to harm the peace of Sindh. The ethnicity-based artificial conflicts deeply impede our struggle for the rights. “I will not allow any injustice to be done to any Sindhi speaker, Urdu speaker or Pashto speaker.”

“Let the people thwart the conspiracy of these ethnic groups by maintaining their unity.
The PPP chairman said that those who call the new local body system introduced by Sindh Chief Minister a black law will have a remorseful impacts on minds. The people of Sindh will reject these rejected elements.

Addressing the people, he said that he wants the mayor of Hyderabad from PPP, a Jiayala. He promised that he will work with the Jiala mayor to resolve the problems of the people.

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that those who could not be faithful to their leader would not be faithful to anyone else. Those who used to applaud slogans against Pakistan are the enemies of this city.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, provincial ministers, lawmakers and party dignitaries were present.
