Amid the rumours about differences within the opposition alliance’s ranks, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday in a way negated the impression and said all the PPP members had submitted their resignations with the party despite the pressure exerted on them through different quarters like the NAB, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Asking the forces involved in these tactics to stop the practice, the PPP chairman warned that otherwise he would be forced to expose everyone while detailing their modus operandi.

He noted that the Centre wasn’t transferring necessary resources to the provinces but they would not sit idle and continue working for public welfare and development through initiatives like public-private partnership.  

Bilawal recalled that Imran had stated on the floor of the House what he could do on the Kashmir issue and was repeating the same when asked about the people committing suicide because of financial problems.

“There is a solution. What you should do is to tender resignation and go home,” he remarked in his address at a ceremony held in connection with laying the foundation stone of 39-kilometre-long Malir Expressway launched under public-private partnership mechanism.

Addressing the PTI government, he warned against policing provinces and said that they would not have anywhere to go if the provinces started raising questions about their rights.

Citing different projects completed under public-private partnership, Bilawal said the concept was introduced by former premier Benazir Bhutto in the party manifesto. Sindh was far ahead of other provinces and the federal government in following the formula, he added.

Provinces had more responsibilities after the 18th Amendment but neither the NFC Award was being revised nor the financial resources were fully transferred under the previous one, said the PPP chairman.

Describing the PTI government again as illegitimate, Bilawal said the prime minister had admitted that they were still under training. “It is a big joke with the people of Pakistan,” he said and added that things would have been much better if the country’s prime minister’s was slightly competent.
