ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari remarked on Friday that he is not in the ‘mood’ to work with either Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) or Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
While explaining his statement, he said, ‘PML-N deceives [others] while PTI keeps taking U-turns. PML-N has not treated PPP well’. ‘We will continue to work with those who help us implement PPP’s manifesto’, he said during an interview with a private news channel.
The PPP chief further said that he has ideological differences with PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and PTI Chairperson Imran Khan. He also predicted that PPP would perform better than it did during the 2013 general election. ‘PPP is contesting elections across Pakistan and we will perform better than we did in 2013’.
After the death of Benazir Bhutto, the country’s foundation was shaken but we worked for the restoration of democracy and took down a dictator, he remarked. ‘There have been conspiracies against PPP but I am the son of Benazir and I accepted these challenges,” he added. “This is my first election and I have arrived with my electoral manifesto’.
When asked if he would become the next prime minister, Bilawal said, ‘He would think about it once PPP secures majority votes in the elections’. The party would decide if he would become the PM or his father, Asif Ali Zardari, he added.
