LAHORE: Unrelenting in his criticism of the interior minister, Pakistan People’s Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari holds Chaudhry Nisar responsible for what he alleges foiling the National Action Plan.

Speaking at the Sindh Workers Convention at Bilawal House on the fifth day of the party’s week-long Foundation Day ceremony here on Sunday, he led the workers in raising slogan of “Go Nisar go”, alleging that the interior minister had failed the National Action Plan.

He also urged the people of Punjab to “wake up” for the sake of the country. He asked the participants if they felt a change in Sindh and in the PPP since he had taken charge of the party. When the crowd responded in the positive, he asked them who would become the prime minister in 2018 if they sided with him and they unanimously replied: “Bilawal”.Confident that his party could win the next polls, the PPP leader also raised the slogan of “Ugly baari phir Zardari” (the next turn is again of Zardari).

On the occasion, he also read out a parody of Habib Jalib’s poem to criticise Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
