PPP chairman highlights the government's failure to adhere to agreements


Karachi: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday accused incumbent Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz for its failure in providing respect to PPP in the federal government.
Talking to journalists in in Karachi, Bilawal stated that the issue was not about personal grievances but about honour and political integrity.
“Politics is about respect, not resentment. If the judiciary had representation from rural Sindh, we would have demanded equality,” he remarked, referring to Pakistan's Supreme Court.
Bilawal highlighted the government's failure to adhere to agreements, particularly during constitutional reforms, citing discrepancies in policy implementation.
"During the constitutional reform process, the government made promises but then backtracked, adopting different approaches for Sindh compared to the rest of the country," he added.
The PPP leader also criticised the lack of consultation in key governance decisions, particularly the approval of projects like the canals under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).
"We had agreed on consultation, but instead, decisions were made without proper dialogue," Bilawal said, expressing disappointment at the government's actions.
Statement on Killing of Chinese Nationals
When asked about the recent killing of Chinese nationals in Pakistan, Bilawal condemned the act, aligning with the Chinese ambassador's statement that the murders were "unacceptable."
"A murder is a crime against humanity," he said, adding that Chinese nationals, who contribute to Pakistan’s economy, should be protected.
Bilawal also criticised the government's decision to impose further restrictions on the internet and VPN services. He stated that those making such decisions are out of touch with reality and do not understand the negative impact on technology access.
"The internet has become so slow, it feels like the 1990s again," he said, referring to the outdated, slow internet connections reminiscent of his childhood.
