Unlike the military dictator’ we have not been afraid to stand up against the superpower and shut down the supply routes in protest and permanently shut down the Shamsi Air Base to the Americans,” he added. Bilawal also said that during the tenure of the PPP government’ the economy has withstood the global economic catastrophe’ natural disasters and the menace of terrorism, despite many challenges.
