Imran Khan must step down by Jan 31: Bilawal Bhutto

LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Imran Khan will have to resign by 31 January.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said this while talking to journalists in Lahore on Wednesday afternoon. He said that the PPP has a history of resistance. Our workers struggled against and defeated General Zia and Genral Musharraf so they have the history of resistance.

The mobilization of party workers is going very well and Imran Khan will have to resign by 31 January. He said that 16 December reminds us of two tragedies for Pakistan, First is fall of Dacca and that other is the martyrdom of students of Army Public School in Peshawar.

He said that the APS tragedy is still fresh in our minds and this selected government has failed to provide justice to the bereaved families. During this puppet, incapable and illegitimate government the main culprit of APS tragedy Ehsanullah Ehsan fled the captivity and the country.

This government gives relief to the terrorists and imprisons opposition politicians, journalists and bloggers. This government is doing nothing to give any relief to the people. Price-Hike, unemployment and hunger and poverty are the real issues the people are faced with in this government.

Pakistan has the highest inflation and lowest growth rate in the region. Pakistan is economically worse than Afghanistan.

Responding the questions by the journalists Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that he had gone to visit Shahbaz Sharif to condole with him on the death of his mother. He and Shahbaz Sharif talked about the unity of opposition in the country.

He said that his party is ready to sacrifice Sindh government in this movement to achieve its goal. He said that opposition will form such a strategy which will not harm the democracy.

Opposition will not be damaged by this movement and warning has already been issued to Imran Khan to step down or face the music. There will be pdama dam mast qalandar’. He said that Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto both knew the politics of resistance as well as the politics of reconciliation. We know how to use both tools. He rejected any dialogue with puppet government and puppet prime minister, puppet chief minister and puppet speaker national assembly.

Bilawal said that this is wrong notion that any phone call had ended long march held for judiciary. He said that the PPP leaders had convinced President Zardari to restore the judiciary and afterwards telephone calls were made for face saving of others.
