MULTAN: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari lashed out at the PTI for creating difficulties for the masses.

“It is said the foundation of the PTI was laid in Lodhran and its funeral will also take place in Lodhran,” he said at a workers convention at Kehror Pacca on Tuesday.

The PPP, he said, would force the puppet to escape. He said that during the last three year’s rule of the PTI people had been suffering.

“The anti-poor policies of the PTI and the PML-N benefitted only the rich as they think that by doing so the country will progress but it never happened. The PPP is the only party which did a lot for small farmers, labourers, youth and women and time has proved that implementation of the PPP manifesto put the country on the path to progress,” he said.

He urged the gathering to support the PPP to enable it to complete the mission and dream of Benazir Bhutto and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

“The people have been suffering for the last three years and if we continue our efforts no power can stop us from forming the government in Center and Punjab. The PPP is the only party which has stood up for the poor and our relation is not of today rather we have a relation of generations. I have come here to reestablish the ties,” he said.
