Pakistan - Govt has handed over Lahore to sympathisers of terrorists: Bilawal



Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday took aim at the Nawaz-led government at a rally held in Lahore, a bastion of PML-N support. 

“Lahore has been handed over to sympathisers of terrorists by the incumbent government,” said Bilawal, who arrived in Lahore earlier this week to hold meetings with members of PPP’s central and provincial executive councils in a bid to revamp the party in the province.
“At a time when our armed forces are driving terrorists’ out of the country, the current government is destroying the economy,” Bilawal said, while addressing farmers at the Kissan Convention.
Highlighting his party’s progressive stance on the economy, Bilawal said the country’s development is only possible through the introduction of fair and equitable policies, not by introducing the Metro Bus system.
Criticising the PML-N government, Bilawal said most government’s institution were operating without any heads or visionary leadership, leaving a big question mark over the government’s claims of good governance.
“The current government has destroyed Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and they are unable to give salaries to Steels Mills’ workers,” he said.
Commenting on the army’s ongoing operation against terrorists, Bilawal said Operation Zarb-e-Azb was launched seven years ago when operations were launched in Swat and North Waziristan.
“Nawaz says that we all are on the same page against terrorism, whereas I say that he is now on my page as he only launched the operation when we lost the future of our country in the APS attack, while I called out at terrorists a long time back,” he said.
