Karachi, September 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced to regularize the Katchi Abadis across the country, like done in Sindh, if his party wins the next general elections and adding that if bureaucracy and judges can get plots, then plots can be given to poor citizens of the country too. He further said that if the direction of the country’s economy is to be corrected, then money has to be put in the pocket of the common person.
According to a press release issued by Media Cell Bilawal House, Chairman PPP, while addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Water Filtration Plant in Hussainabad area of Hyderabad, said that the poor citizens and backward classes of the country will have to be given their due rights. “Unless the purchasing power of the people increases, the economy will not benefit,” he contended.
Addressing the dwellers of Katchi Abadis across the country, he said, “This was my maternal grandfather’s promise to public, and my mother’s dream, and I promise you that if I get the chance, I will give land ownership rights to all those living in Katchi Abadis everywhere in the country.”
Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that all the provinces were affected by the unusual rains last year, but only in Sindh, the flood victims have been given houses as well as ownership rights of the land. “More than two million families have been benefited under this project, while the ownership rights of the land have been given to the women of the family. We want to take this program to other provinces of the country,” he pointed out.
Chairman PPP said that his party was never afraid of elections. “We have fought elections carrying dead bodies on our shoulders even. (However) if some of our allies are running away from the election, let them run. They are scared, they run away from local elections, they run away from by-elections, and maybe now they are afraid of general elections too,” he added.
Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that he tried his best to convincing the MQM-P that they should contest the local body’s election, and not give their space to the incompetents, but they got scared and retreated. Even they could not save their two towns. He further said that PTI practices politics of division and hatred. “Just as we wiped out PTI from Hyderabad, we will wipe out it from the entire country,” he vowed and added that it is his message to PTI that the Jiyalas are coming. “Jiyalas are ready to contest, will get the security amount confiscated of Imran Khan in the same way as it was done in Hyderabad, Malir and Multan,” he added.
PPP Chairman said that false propaganda and character assassination has been going on against his party and its leadership for three generations, adding that such character assassination was done during the last 15 years because there was a conspiracy to bring Imran Khan to power. “In those days it was said that there is a lot of garbage in Sindh, while the rest of Pakistan is clean,” he recalled.
Addressing the party workers, Chairman PPP said that such false propaganda is being sold in Punjab and Peshawar, we have to respond to such lies. “We have to say that there are still problems in Hyderabad, but if projects like NICVD have been built, they have been built by the PPP government,” adding that if Sharjeel Memon, who was also the provincial minister at that time, suffered a heart attack, he was treated at NICVD Hospital in Hyderabad on his turn, adding that on the other hand, Imran Khan has his own hospital, but he also has back pain, but he will go abroad for treatment.
Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the MQM, when in power, did not work on its own, and blamed the provincial government. He said that MQM leaders should be asked what they have done for Hyderabad. While giving a historical reference, he pointed out that the water supply scheme was given to Hyderabad city for the first time in 1911, then during the 70s by the government of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and for the third time in 1988 by the government of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. “First my grandfather, then his daughter and my mother and now his grandson is giving the project of clean drinking water to Hyderabad. With this project, clean drinking water will be provided to the people of Hussainabad, Shah Latif Town and Qasimabad Town,” he addded.
