Says PM will have to answer on Panama leaks
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday cautioned the people of Azad Kashmir that a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) victory in the upcoming elections would mean an approval for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s pro-India policies.
The PPP chairman also said that the prime minister will have to answer on the Panama leaks.
Speaking at a rally in Bagh district of Azad Jammu & Kashmir, the PPP chairman said Nawaz Sharif’s ‘friendship’ with Prime Minister Modi is an insult to the people of the area as the Indian premier is responsible for massacre of Muslims in Gujrat and during Modi’s rule Kashmiris are facing the worst form of state terrorism.
“Indian agents have been arrested from your sugar mills but no eyebrows were raised, while India even calls a pigeon flying from Pakistan an agent,” Bilawal said.
PM WILL HAVE TO ANSWER:
Bilawal said while addressing the Bagh rally that the premier will be held accountable for charges against him in the Panama Papers.
“The government’s boat is shaking. The game is now over for circus lions,” the PPP chairman said, adding that his party wants a fair probe into Panama Papers’ revelations. He also criticised PM Nawaz for neglecting Kashmir.
“Mian Sahab has made Pakistan’s stance on Kashmir a joke,” he said, adding, “Mian Sahab went too far in his friendship with India that he did not care to meet Hurriyat leaders.”
“No leader in the past has ever inflicted such damage on Kashmir,” he said.
The PPP chairman termed 2016 Azad Kashmir General Election as equivalent to referendum. “It’s been 67 years and no UN resolution on Kashmir has ever been implemented,” Bilawal said.
He added that the Nawaz-led government hasn’t done anything for the people of Kashmir despite being in power for three years.
The PPP leader criticised PM Nawaz for extending relations with India at cost of national integrity. “Whenever I talk about Modi, people look at it through the prism of India-Pakistan relations.”
Bilawal was critical of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said there were many countries that denied visa to the Indian premier.
“India’s foreign policy experts, too, were worried when Modi was elected as their prime minister,” he added.
Bilawal stressed on his party’s call to have a plebiscite in the Indian-occupied Kashmir under the auspices of the United Nations.
AJK POLLS:
Last month, Bilawal had condemned the federal government for what he called “carrying out pre-poll rigging in Azad Jammu and Kashmir by selectively doling out development funds” to candidates belonging only to the PML-N and registering non-Kashmiri citizens living elsewhere in the country as voters in various constituencies.
Bilawal’s speech on Tuesday was part of a campaign ahead of elections for the AJK Legislative Assembly, where the party has held power since 2011. Elections in the valley are due in July.
Former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, whose abducted son’s release was announced during the rally, also spoke on the occasion.
In the current 48-member assembly, which has lately seen some changes in loyalties, PPP has 27 seats, PML-N has 13, Muslim Conference has 4 while PTI and MQM have two seats each.
thats not a good point i think
These so called leaders have one thing in common – exploit the sentiments of the stupid voters ( more stupid though). Asking not to vote India-friendly NS but to vote the party prodely bearing the "corruption tag". When they have nothing to say, rant Kashmir. His Nana wasted 16 hrs of UNSC but achieved nothing. Aminitating ZAB, reads notes provided to him by the "redundant Uncles". Bilawal Zardari got-up one morning and saw the Chairmanship of PPP in a silver platter.
