He also announced plans for housing initiatives and the expansion of support programs for farmers, workers, and the youth.
Highlighting the PPP’s distinct political approach, Bilawal criticized the politics of division and vendettas, advocating for a new form of politics based on public welfare and social justice. He expressed confidence in the PPP’s victory in the upcoming elections, scheduled for February 8, and urged party workers to intensify their campaign efforts.
