CHITRAL: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari here on Wednesday criticized the PML-N and the PTI and said their leaders should retire from politics as they are incapable of thinking for the future and put the country on track of progress.
He asked them to retire, sit at home and pray for the country and the youth of Pakistan.
Addressing a workers’ convention here, Bilawal said he will put the demand of the people of Chitral before his sister Asifa Bhutto to contest election from Chitral in the next general elections.
“As the demand has come from the people of Chitral, I will put it before Asifa and persuade her to run for the seat of her (maternal) grandfather,” he told the gathering.
The PPP in the past had fielded former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s wife Nusrat Bhutto and Pyar Ali Allana from Karachi on the National Assembly seat of Chitral.
Though the party has lost its traditional status of being a bastion of the PPP, its local supporters are of the opinion that it has no local suitable candidate in the election and have suggested fielding Bilawal’s sister for the seat.
Bilawal today said that the people of Chitral had been supporting the PPP for three generations and the party also gave them their rights.
The PPP chairman on the occasion made a number of promises for Chitral in case he was voted to power in the general elections expected to be held in February 2024.
He said the PPP, after coming to power, would not only restore the subsidized rate of wheat but would make it a permanent facility for the people of Chitral. Moreover, former FATA and PATA areas would be declared permanently tax-free zones.
Besides, establishing hospitals, Upper and Lower Chitral would also have separate universities, he added.
