Nawaz-MQM alliance will benefit PPP in general elections: Bilawal

King’s party to face PPP challenge in upcoming elections,

Immigrants should be sent back to Afghanistan with respect.”

Rana hopeful that alliance with MQM-P to help PML-N get 3-4 seats in Karachi,

Karachi_PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Friday claimed that the coalition will be more beneficial for his party in the upcoming general election.

Speaking at Safari Park in Karachi, Bilawal expressed trust in his party’s success in both the general elections and local bodies polls, stressing the capacity to contend with Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

Highlighting the party’s success in local bodies elections, particularly in Karachi, Bilawal hoped that the PPP would also win on Feb 8. He recounted a call from General (r) Bajwa two days prior to the no-confidence motion, urging withdrawal of it.

He said that he worked hard to make Shehbaz Sharif the prime minister.

Bilawal voiced concerns over the economic and political crisis, emphasising Sindh’s rights and the harassment of resources. Criticising PTI’s past stance on democracy, he asserted commitment to holding elections on Feb 8 and advocated for a strong approach towards the Tehreek-e-Taliban in the context of Afghanistan.

Bilawal raised objections over the ongoing countrywide drive against illegal immigrants, saying he did not see clarity in the state policy on Afghanistan.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and terrorists should be dealt with “iron hands”, he said, adding that if there were strictness everywhere, then it would be difficult to hit the target.

He was of the view that illegal immigrants should be sent back to Afghanistan with “respect”.

Talking about disloyalty within political parties, Bilawal warned that those abandoning their parties would face consequences in the elections. He criticised slogans in Punjab favouring bureaucrats, stating that PTI now recognises the importance of the constitution and law, underscoring the need for a collective learning experience.

The PPP chairman also expressed a commitment to enhancing facilities for Karachi’s citizens, particularly in terms of travel and recreation, citing the positive impact of Dino Safari Park on KMC’s income.
