With promise of rebuilding economy and institutional harmony, PPP unveils 2018 manifesto

E-Paper | April 29, 2026

With just weeks left until polling day, the PPP has become the first major party to unveil its manifesto for the July 25 general elections.

"Roti, kapra aur makaan; ilm, sehat, sab ko kaam" (Bread, clothing and shelter; education, health and jobs for everyone) — slogan of PPP's 2018 manifesto

Launched by PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the manifesto pledges to curtail hunger, rebuild the country's economy and foster harmony between different institutions of the state, among other elaborate promises.

When we say ‘SECURE PEACE’ we mean ...security not only from external threats, but also threats based on gender, class, ethnicity, caste, faith, and political views - @BBhuttoZardari #BBkaWaadaNibhanaHai #PakistanBachanaHai

PPP did not achieve any of the elements of their manifesto after ten years of rule in Sindh except heaps of garbage. Why should anybody trust them with his/her future?

How interesting (and sad) that the boy who has never done a day's paid work in his life is the chairman of a political party in Pakistan. This can only happen in Pakistan. Maryam Nawaz is another one who has never done a days work in her life and all of a sudden, is now a leader of PMLN. Can we not find anyone other than these unemployable individuals in a country of 190,000,000?. Quaid-E-Azam was a top lawyer before he entered politics. Obama, a Harvard law school graduate used to teach law before he became a politician and we can only find these people?.

How about cleaning up Karachi, educating poor sindhis who are under you and other vaderas as slaves, clean water for Karachi, water supply for places like thakpar( I might have the name wrong,) Muslim NGOs mainly from Punjab helping places where shortage of water exist. What has ppp done for sindh or Karachi in last 25 or more years?

How much has been implemented in Sindh over the last 10 years? PPP has been in power there for more than 10 years I believe but has very little to show for it.
