Expressing jubilation over recent defections from Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Wednesday that the ruling party had begun losing its leaders well ahead of PPP’s long march towards Islamabad, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.   

Addressing a public gathering in Multan, pumped up Bilawal claimed more PTI’s wickets would fall in days ahead. “We will go to Islamabad and attack the ‘selected’ prime minister,” he announced.

He expressed the satisfaction that at last other opposition parties were also feeling convinced that the no-trust motion was the best way to send the government home.

On this occasion, the PPP chairman also demanded the dissolution of assemblies.  

He vowed to keep exposing what he called the ‘incompetence’ of the government. “We have not left the political arena open for the ruling party so that it could do whatever it likes,” he said.

Calling the government’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) anti-people and anti-state, Bilawal claimed that today unemployment was at its peak in the country.

Accusing the government of seeking postponement of the second phase of local bodies’ (LBs) elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), PPP chairman asked the PTI government that if it was so sure that the people would vote for it, then why was it feeling afraid from the polls?   

He prophesied that the ruling party would taste defeat in the second phase of the elections too.
