He said the verdict will discourage corruption in higher offices. Bilawal said the PPP was in favour of accountability for all without any exception and there must be a proper legislation for that.
Commenting on the case proceedings of the Sharif family, he said if it was the Bhutto family in the court then the court would have taken no time in announcing the verdict.

Bilawal also said the PPP is in consultation with other parties and will file a candidate for the post of prime minister. He also said the PPP supports “accountability across the board”.
He said it is imperative for all political parties to accept the apex court verdict.
