Referring to former prime minister and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif as a politician from Lahore, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Tuesday that neither he himself wanted to play nor wanted anybody else to play, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing the party’s workers’ convention at Upper Dir in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), he, while calling Nawaz and JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman ‘aged politicians’, said the problem with them was that of ‘ego’. “I have no idea what they are up to,” he said, adding, “Just give me one chance and I will change the nation’s destiny.” Ridiculing PML-N’s election symbol of ‘lion’, he said the lion turned out to be a coward.
Bilawal claimed that no other party, barring the PPP, wanted to serve the masses. “Everybody wants to take revenge. Everybody wants to settle the score,” he said, adding, “This is despite the fact that the politics of hatred and revenge have done little good to the people.”
He stressed the need for doing away with the brand of politics that spread hate and created fissures in the society.
He went on to say that rulers did not have any idea of the agony people were going through. “Only if we get serious and have good intentions, can we resolve all issues confronting the country,” PPP chairman opined.
Referring to the PML-N’s experimentation with Ishaq Dar as the country’s finance minister, he said his policies were of little utility. “On the other hand, the PTI, which had promised change, did nothing except bringing destruction,” Bilawal concluded.
