Pakistan not property of ‘molvi’ or ‘khilari’: Bilawal

Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday said Pakistan is not property of any ‘mullah’ or a ‘player’.
Without naming Nawaz Sharif, whom former president Asif Zardari had termed molvi and Imran Khan as khilari (player), Bilawal lashed out at both parties during a speech at the 47th foundation day of his party.
He said status quo hanged Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who had given the constitution, nuclear programme and true democracy to the country.
He said it was a wrong perception that the PPP has been changed, adding that the party could never be changed as it has roots among the people.
Bilawal predicted that his party would not only remain alive until 2018 elections, but would prove to be the country’s best party.
The PPP leader said his father had given 18th Amendment which made provinces stronger, adding that it was Zardari who gave all his legal powers to parliament.
He said it was Zardari’s wisdom that national flag waved in Swat valley again while the Benazir Income Support Programme helped poor people.
Bilawal lashed out at the government, saying that storm of inflation and high prices in the country has crossed all limits.
He said the government was planning to sell out national assets in the name of privatization, but in fact it is personalization to award their near and dear ones.
PPP leaders participated in the gathering and cut a cake to mark the day.
Relating history of Bhutto’s dynasty and its political struggle, Bilawal tried to make a connection with people of all provinces individually calling out people of Punjab, Sindh, KPK and Balochistan.
“Cannot you understand my language,” he busted into shouting with emotions to counter objections on him that the PPP chairman cannot even understand Urdu.
“Our relations are interwoven by blood, not words,” he added.
Separately, the party workers scuffled with each other. The situation became worse when the workers hurled chairs at each other. Later, party leaders arrived at the scene and controlled the situation.
Earlier in Multan, the ceremony turned into a fiasco as workers smeared the cake all over their faces and hands. A disturbance was also witnessed in Karachi when some charged workers scuffled with each other during a gathering.
