Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari talks to the media

Islamabad, May 10, 2022 (PPI-OT):Foreign Minister and Chair Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari talking to the journalists in the parliament house said that whoever breaks and subverts the constitution has to be tried under article 6 of the constitution. Whatever happened and done from April 3 to 10th and afterwards by the PTI members amount to subverting constitution. This is our stance and we cannot take it lightly. We take pride in our constitution.

Chairman Bilawal said that he does not have any final plan to visit the United States at the moment. The PPP had a series of power projects in the country under CPEC but the Imran Khan’s incapable government destroyed our power projects. Imran Khan’s stance on conspiracy is false as he was removed by democratic conspiracy. He was removed by constitutional means. He was removed by the conspiracy by the Bilawal House not the United States. Now Imran Khan is attacking state institutions and is harming Pakistani democracy. Imran should come back to the parliament and function as the opposition leader.
