‘Destruction' in the name of change taking place in Pakistan: Bilawal

Slamming the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government for what he alleged bringing ‘destruction’ instead of tabdeeli (change) in the country, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Sunday that the party workers were now out on the streets to send the ‘selected’ government home, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Addressing a public gathering at Syal Sharif in Sargodha, he said that it would be written in history in golden words that these were the PPP jiyalas (activists) who kicked the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government out of the corridors of power.
He went on to say that the ‘elected’ Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised to provide 10 million jobs to the youth after coming to power. “But the truth of the matter is that people have been rendered jobless instead, and the agriculture sector has also been destroyed,” he added.  
He accused the government of compromising on the country’s economic independence. “The deal struck by the government with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is in fact anti-poor,” he said and added now even Transparency International had certified that record corruption had taken place under the very nose of Imran Khan. 
PPP chairman further said that the government was attacking people’s democratic and economic rights. “Imran Khan, I am telling you, once you are out of office, you will find no place to hide,” he warned. 
Bilawal claimed that PPP believed in serving the masses. “We have faced dictatorships in the past, and we are the ones who will pull the country out of all crises,” he boasted. 
He said that PPP would set out on a long march towards Islamabad from Karachi on February 27. “And when we will reach Islamabad, the world we see how we present our demands there,” he concluded.
Earlier, Bilawal arrived in Sial Sharif in Sargodha Sunday afternoon on a helicopter to address the public meeting.

All arrangements for the public rally were in place at Sial Sharif on Jhang-Sargodha Road. Three containers were used for erecting the central stage and huge screens were installed for a wide coverage of the event. A separate container is reserved for the media people.
A massive convoy led by Aslam Gill, Usman Malik and Rana Irfan has left Lahore for Sargodha to participate in the PPP rally.
Convoys from Sahiwal, Okara, Pakpattan, Sheikhupura, Nankana, Kasur and Joya consisting of hundreds of vehicles will be reaching at the venue in the afternoon.
Convoys from big cities like Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Gujranwala will arrive through Motorway.
