'Imran Khan has no sensitivity towards people's problems': Bilawal

Khairpur: PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Tuesday said Prime Minister Imran Khan was robbing Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and Gilgit Baltistan, while common man was in trouble.

"Imran Khan has no sensitivity towards the problems of the people," he said while addressing party workers in Khairpur where his long march was reached.  

Bilawal said senior PPP leader Qaim Ali Shah and Imran Khan were nearly of the same age but Shah still worked for the youth whereas the puppet Imran had disappointed the youth.

"The new Pakistan is not accepted by the people because there is no return of comman man's labour, of crops of growers, and no return of educational degrees because youth cannot get jobs."

The PPP leader said the political history witnessed that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto provided jobs to the people, not only in the country but abroad as well, adding Shaheed Benazir Bhutto served the people of Pakistan with slogan “Benazir Aaye Gi, Rozgar Laye Gi”.

When President Asif Ali Zardari came to power, the world was going through one of the worst recessions, but he introduced Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), increased salaries up to 100% and pensions by more than 100%.

"In contrast, this puppet (referring to Imran Khan) for the last three years has been saying that he cannot provide jobs to the youth of the country. Every promise by Imran proved to be false whether it was," Bilawal said.

"He (Imran) does not know that Jiyalas don't worry but it's time for Imran to start worrying. Now, the selected has started worrying. He bowed down before the pressure of this long march and announced to reduce petrol and electricity prices but cannot befool the people because they know that just a day before, the price of electricity increased by Rs6 and petrol price by Rs12. Imran Khan’s gimmickry will not work."

Bilawal said in eight years of rule in KP and three years in the federal government, Imran Khan couldn't match the development in Khairpur district only. "The PPP has established universities in this district."

"We have Gumbat Hospital in Khairpur district which treats kidney, liver, heart, cancer, Thalassemia and has started free of cost bone marrow transplants. On the other hand, Shaukat Khanum only treats cancer and that too on hefty charges."

The PPP chairman said the long march would enter Punjab the day after tomorrow and through the GT Road, "we will enter Islamabad and will remove this undemocratic puppet through a democratic manner that is the no-confidence motion".
