#Pakistan - #PPP - Govt will be responsible if anything happens to Zardari: Bilawal Bhutto
Bilawal in his Twitter message wrote, “The Pakistani state continues to try and use my father’s ailing health to pressure my party.” He said despite being detained without being convicted of anything since August, Asif Zardari is still to receive medical care.
The PPP chairman further said despite multiple medical reports from the government’s own doctor that he should be provided with medical facilities in prison and shifted to hospital for investigation and treatment he has been denied his fundamental rights.
He added that not only has he not been taken to hospital he has still not been provided with a fridge to keep his insulin and medicine.
Bilawal continued that if anything was, God forbid, to happen to my father we will hold this government responsible, adding that despite these tactics we will not compromise on our principles or democratic politics. Meanwhile, a delegation of Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CCI), Larkana, called on PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at the residence of Nisar Ahmed Khuhro on Tuesday and apprised him of the issues faced by the residents and the business community. The delegation consisted of its president Haji Ghulam Sarwar Shaikh, former president Abdul Ghaffar Shaikh, Masood Babu, Jamal Mustafa Shaikh, Mumtaz Ali Shaikh and others. They informed the chairman that work on uplift schemes is going on at snail’s pace which may be accelerated in the city. They told him that there is no Ladies Park in the entire city due to which women of Larkana are facing recreation and amusement problems which may be resolved on priority basis. The delegation further informed him that the condition of Sindh Small Industries (SSI) is very bad as there are cleanliness and massive prolonged electricity outages issues faced by the traders which may also be resolved immediately. They demanded of the Chairman that in development schemes of the city and in Sindh Small Industries they should be consulted and one of their representatives may be included in the development committee. They said work on some of the schemes demanded before is underway but its pace is very slow which may also be intensified.
Abdul Ghaffar Shaikh requested Bilawal to have personal eye on all uplift schemes which will ensure change of fate of Larkana district.
State is responsible for creating jobs for its citizens: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari says it is state’s responsibility to create jobs for its people, ARY News reported on Wednesday.
He was talking to media after inaugurating HIV Treatment Support Centre in Rato Dero, Larkana.
Bilawal said his party has decided support Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman’s Azadi March against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government.
Commenting on Larkana PS-11 by-polls, the PPP leader said his party is contesting against Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) backed candidate. “Only Maulana can clarify his party’s position on PS-11 by-election.”
The PPP chairman said his party is working in collaboration with the UNICEF and other organisations to find the cause behind increasing number of HIV cases in Sindh, specially in Larkana.
He also underlined the need of short-term and long-term planning to eliminate HIV from the province.
Replying to a query, he said the state is responsible for creating employment opportunities for its people, but unfortunately, here in Pakistan, the employment is increasing with every passing day.
He appreciated Prime Minister Imran Khan’s role for defusing tensions in the middle east and said Afghan war caused huge loss to us.
