ISLAMABAD: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday took exception to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s remark about having Asif Ali Zardari on his target, saying these “threats” will not be tolerated anymore.
“We will not tolerate this anymore; I am here now,” Bilawal said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad.
The PPP chairman said that there have been two such incidents that are unbearable for him — referring to PM Imran Khan’s statement and the drone incident with Aseefa Bhutto-Zardari.
He said that his family and party have made many sacrifices for Pakistan, the restoration of democracy but they will not tolerate it anymore.
“I am not a child anymore,” Bilawal said in reference to his young age at the time of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination.
He said that for those who think that we will get scared and step back, they don’t know that Zardari and Benazir’s blood flows in my veins.
“What I will do to you will be remembered by your generations,” he said.
The PPP chairman said Zardari was “acquitted” in all the cases against him — from the lower to Supreme Court — and therefore, the prime minister took the support of “fake reports and JIT”.
He accused the premier of taking funds from India and Israel, while also blaming PM Imran Khan for using the donations given to Shaukat Khanum Hospital for the PTI.
“You used the donations from the cancer hospital to run your kitchen and your party […] you are a culprit; a United States court has convicted you,” he told the prime minister.
Bilawal also said that he never spoke against First Lady Bushra Bibi, but the reports that he got from the bureaucracy and other institutions suggested that no bureaucrat can be posted in Punjab without first giving “money” to the first lady.
