Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) decision to elevate Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shehbaz Sharif to the post of party president is controversial because his tenure has been marred by allegations of corruption.
On Tuesday, the PML-N general council had selected former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as the supreme leader of the party while electing Shehbaz Sharif as acting president of the party. The meeting was held in the wake of a Supreme Court order that disqualified Nawaz from PML-N presidentship in the Elections Act 2017 case.
Talking to reporters, Bilawal said the Punjab chief minister had yet to answer questions about his involvement in corrupt practices in the Ashiana Housing Scheme and Multan Metro Bus cases.
When asked whether his party supported the judiciary or the government in the present scenario, he said that his party supported the masses, adding that PPP would take effective measures to resolve the problems being faced by the common man in Pakistan.
The PPP chairman said that the PML-N and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) claims of winning from Karachi in the upcoming general elections were no more than talk because the residents of the port city would reject PTI, PML-N and those exercising influence from abroad.
