PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said the PTI is taking decisions that are not favourable for democracy, referring to the Imran Khan-led party’s recent announcement that it would not hold dialogue with the PML-N, PTI and MQM-P.

“Saying that we will not talk with anyone, okay don’t do it. But why did people give you a vote? They voted for you to resolve their problems […] a political force must listen to others.

“When they don’t do that, it damages the country,” Bilawal pointed out.

He stated that the PPP had today once again decided to raise the slogan of “Pakistan khappay” only for the sake of the country and in the interest of the people.

“We will support political parties without becoming part of the government in the shape of ministries or PDM 2 as people are saying. We will not become part of it. As far as premiership issues, budget and legislation are concerned, we will support them,” Bilawal added.
