Country sees highest unemployment rate in history during PTI era, says Bilawal

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the present government has become a torment for the people.

“The highest unemployment rate in the country's history occurred during the PTI era whereas people are fighting inflation, unemployment and poverty but Prime Minister is saying that the country's economy is improving.”

It seems from PM’s words that he has nothing to do with the common man, “Imran Khan and his team do not like for a common man,” he added.

Chairman PPP questioned that if the situation is better then why the Prime Minister is begging from Arab countries and IMF?

The difficult time is over for the Prime Minister and his A teams whereas the “selected Prime Minister has no idea what difficulty the people are going through.”

Even today the Prime Minister was seen being vocal about corruption and mafia, however “he had to bring money from outside the country in 90 days, now it is being said that if he gets the next opportunity, he will bring money,”

Bilawal Bhutto said that there is no accountability in the country while political revenge is going on, “not one but two systems of justice are running,”

"If the president is from Nawabshah (Asif Ali Zardari), he remains on medical bail despite trumped-up charges," chairman PPP said during a press conference in Islamabad.

He lashed out while saying that mockery is being made in the name of accountability, what kind of system is it, "I want to ask the prime minister (Imran Khan) that what sort of accountability is being implemented in the country?" he asked, adding that if the premier's friends are being alleged of a crime, no action is taken against them.

If the prime minister and his sister are blamed for a crime even then nothing happens to them.

However, if a former president’s sister from Nawabshah is blamed for something, then she is dragged to jail from her hospital bed, he said, mentioning to his aunt and Faryal Talpur.

He said that if “the Leader of the Opposition is from Punjab, bail is granted, but if the Leader of the Opposition is from Sindh, there are frequent court appearances.

Will you make the nation ignorant again? He asked.

“PPP is not afraid of your threats and accountability. Have faith and the people of Pakistan will hold you accountable for their oppression.”

Furious Bilawal said that the statements of the Prime Minister and his spokespersons regarding the budget are far from the truth, the claims of growth rate are contrary to reality, the Finance Minister himself has said that the IMF-PTI deal was wrong.

Bilawal Bhutto further said that the popele of Pakistan are waiting for the budget to come next week, hopefully, in the budget, inflation will be lower, unemployment will be ended, salaries of government employees will increase by 100% and salaries of Pakistan Army soldiers will increase by 175%.

“When the budget is presented, 10 million jobs and 5 million houses will be seen,” he taunted the government.
