Speaking at the rally, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal once again hit out at the government over price rises and allegedly usurping the rights of provinces, saying Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised a Naya Pakistan "but it turned out to be more expensive Pakistan".
He alleged that the Imran Khan had refused to accept Sindh as his province and asked, "If Sindh is not a province of the prime minister, then whose is it?" adding he said none of the provinces and even Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir belonged to Imran Khan.
Terming the government "puppet, selected and formed as a result of rigging", "He (Imran) neither needs Sindh nor Sindh's people but he wants Sindh's islands, Natural reserves, tax revenue, but he cannot spend on Sindhis or solve your problems or get you a job. He can only rob your rights but you, the people of Pakistan will not stand for him. We will protect our rights and our democracy and make this PM run away," the PPP chairman said.
He asserted that Sindh had been given Rs160 billion less than its due share last year and was being given Rs200 billion less this year. The "incompetent" and "illegitimate" government had brought a tsunami of inflation with it and food items like wheat and sugar were beyond the people's purchasing power, he added.
Bilawal said farmers in the country were protesting and they were not being paid for breed s tomatoes and onions because the government preferred to import instead of buying from them.
The PDM power sow was not attended by PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, as she is with her daughter who recently underwent a surgery after suffering head injuries in a road accident.
