Pakistan Peoples’ Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday stated that he is ready to go to jail with all other politicians, and will not be afraid of the Imran Khan government.
While addressing a press conference in Karachi, Bilawal claimed that the Prime Minister is using Army as a political bloc and the government appears nervous due to the rallies carried out by the opposition, “He said that the opposition is ready to protest against this system, adding that we are trying to get the people out of this predicament,”.
Bilawal further said that the army was not an institution of one party, and that the Prime Minister should not use it as a political bloc.
He also added that the government has pushed the masses against the wall with rising inflation.
The opposition parties of Pakistan have alleged that Khan’s government had belittled the expectations of the general people and had left them in tatters amid the economic havoc caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Imran Khan-led government have launched multiple crackdowns against several opposition leaders, with the latest case under the sedition law filed against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir “premier” Raja Mohammad Farooq Ahmed Khan on October 1.
A First Information Report was registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by a local resident in Shahdra police station against the Pakistan Muslim League leader on the charges of criminal conspiracy for the “provocative speeches” he made in London to “defame Pakistan’s institutions”.Sharif’s daughter, Khan and three retired generals among 40 PML(N) leaders have also been named in the FIR.
