RAHIM YAR KHAN: Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari says the Imran Khan government is rather deceiving people in the name of south Punjab province by setting up secretariats in Multan and Bahawalpur.

Speaking at a workers’ convention at Chowk Bahadarpur, 15 kms from here on the last day of his two-day visit to RY Khan on Friday, he termed the secretariats lollipops.

He said the PPP had given identity to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and “it will deliver the people of Waseb their own province. We passed a bill in this regard from the Senate with a two-third majority.”

The PPP leader again asked the PML-N to move a no-confidence motion against chief minister Usman Buzdar. “We have to get rid of this government so that people get relief from price hike and unemployment. I can see Jiyalas are ready to chase Imran Khan out and establish an Awami Raj.”
