PPP to hold protests in Sindh over PTI leadership's 'inappropriate' remarks against Bilawal
53
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Thursday announced that it would hold protests across Sindh against the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) leadership for their "inappropriate" remarks against party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
"Statements against Bilawal Bhutto by the senior PTI leadership, including the prime minister, are inappropriate," said Peoples Youth Wing President Javed Nayab Leghari, adding that "such remarks against the [PPP] leadership will not be tolerated."
A day earlier, Prime Minister Imran Khan had passed what was considered a "misogynist" remark regarding Bilawal at a public gathering in South Waziristan.
“Unlike Bilawal Sahiba, I didn’t come into politics through a chit like the last will of his mother [slain PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto] that gave him the political party in inheritance,” the prime minister had said.

Leghari said that a schedule had been readied under which protests shall be carried out in two phases.
In the first phase, demonstrations will be held in Hyderabad, Larkana, Sukkur and Nawabshah on Friday, whereas in the second phase on Sunday, protests will be held in Karachi and Mirpurkhas.
"Members of the provincial assembly and senior party leaders will take part in the demonstrations," said the youth wing president.
Additionally, the PPP media cell announced that the party's Sindh President Nisar Ahmed Khoro, alongside other leaders, will hold "an important" press conference on Friday at Bilawal House in Karachi.

But Bilawal replied in kind. So what's the problem? Don't you people have a life?

They are always quick to protest, but never address their own faults. So angry over one comment on their 'leader'. Shows how weak they are. Will they ever talk about what state they left Pakistan in? Money laundering? These people ruined our beautiful country.

PPP has nothing else to fight with the government as they have lost their reputation in the country after most of their senior members are facing jails for looting the government treasury. Protests are only left for them. Not many people will support them.

Bilalwal talking like Sahiba, majority of Pakistani and overseas Pakistan think IK remarks are 100 % correct, do not waste your time and work to clean Sindh from Kachara, education, medical and electricity. Under this corrupt Govt Sindh suffered huge losses and money laundering, Falooda, and driver accounts. What is progress report of Qaim ali Shah and Murad Ali Shah = ZERO + ZERo.

That's all they are good at. When it came to performance and delivering on their promises, they are always missing in action (MIA).
Instead of wasting your time and energy on these useless protests, do something for a change, for the people of Sindh and Karachi,
PPP has been nothing but an abysmal failure since BB's demies

Bilawal seems to be an intelligent person. But his over emotional fits and his flailing body language are not appreciated by many Pakistanis and, thus, people get turned off.
He should speak in a more mature and dignified manner to get his points across and cut out the histrionics...

It seems, PPP's so called leaders and their selected supporters are looking for excuses to be in limelight and seeking cheap publicity. They are wasting their time, as they have nothing much to say or offer - Asif Zardari, Balawal Zardari, Faryal Talpur and their cronies are badly exposed and involved in fake accounts cases and money laundering activities. (Awam ki Awaz).

Bilawal is a big disappointment he has accomplished nothing in life, and he earned the top job at PPP just because of name association. PPP has many intelligent leaders, but Zardari hijacked the entire party for himself and his family. What a shame these PPP workers should think about what they are doing. I don't support IK, but PPP is doing more damage to itself by siding with Zardari and Bilawal.

By staging protest they will be telling everyone in the world what that was all about, thus humiliating Bilawal even more. Everyone knows that it's not about misogyny. It's just about humiliating and shutting up Bilawal, who has been calling IK a "selected PM".

Enough of useless politicking and slogans. To revive the party, its about time PPP leaders start serving the people who voted for them. Time to listen to people's problems and try to solve them. People are not stupid, they fully understand who is in politics to 'make more money' and who wants to 'serve' the people of Pakistan.
