PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, addressing a rally in Fateh Jang, promised employment opportunities for the people of the area and said the party has worked for the well-being of farmers.
"PPP is notorious for opening the door of employment for the people," Bilawal said.
He added that once the PPP comes into power, the party will ensure more employment opportunities for the people as "it is their basic right".
Addressing his second rally in Punjab after Chiniot, the PPP chairperson said he is visiting different cities of the country and has also visited Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Mansehra, Chitral and Kaghan.
Criticizing PTI chairman Imran Khan, Bilawal said people are dying of the dengue virus in Peshawar while the PTI chief was busy addressing a rally in Sukkur.
"Imran Khan you fear terrorists, are you also scared of mosquitoes?" Bilawal questioned.
Shifting his criticism towards the ruling PML-N, the PPP chairman said the government had not appointed a foreign minister for years and now when one has been appointed, the minister is not working to better Pakistan’s international relation.
Senior leaders of the PPP were also present at the rally ground with Bilawal.
While addressing the crowd earlier, Leader of the Opposition Khursheed Shah said the rally was proof of PPP’s existence in Punjab.
“It is said there is a virus of corruption in politics these days,” he said. “There is no doubt about it.”
Shah said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif questions what his crime was which led to his disqualification.
“Nawaz Sharif should ask the public not us about where he went wrong.”
PPP leader Manzoor Wattoo said none can compete with PPP's leadership.
“Our leadership has made sacrifices for the sake of democracy,” he said.
“We will stand [to contest elections] in Punjab under the leadership of Bilawal Bhutto," said the PPP leader.
PPP leader Qamar Zaman Kaira, while speaking in regards to the accountability court’s decision, said those spreading propaganda have gone into hiding as former president Asif Ali Zardari has been acquitted of all corruption charges.
“Once again PPP has succeeded,” Kaira maintained. “Those hurling allegations against Zardari have been defeated.”
He added the former president faced consequences for crimes he never committed. “But now Zardari will play his political role.”
According to local leaders of the party, at least 20,000 chairs were set up at the site, while flocks of activists and party workers reached Fateh Jang from different parts of the country.
To ensure security of rally participants and workers, walk-through gates had been installed at the entrance of the venue and a large number of police personnel were deployed.
