PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has rejected ban on election-related activities of his party by the provincial caretaker government, saying as citizens of the country running election campaign is their constitutional right.

“We will devise a strategy after checking that the reports are true or not. If there is any such order by the government, it is not acceptable to us.” —Bilawal Bhutto Zardari
