KARACHI
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Sunday began marching towards federal capital Islamabad, in a bid to create political coercion on Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) federal government.
The much-talked PPP long-march started its journey exactly from Mazar-e-Quaid Karachi on Sunday morning.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is also heading the march, said that ‘selected’ government was due to be sacked now. “Our march is declaration of war against incumbent rulers” Bilawal said, while addressing to a charged crowd at the Mazar-e-Quaid.
He said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had ‘robbed’ nation’s right to live and vote. Bilawal said it was time to send the ‘selected’ Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government home.
Addressing the party workers at the Quaid’s mausoleum in Karachi prior to the start of the long march towards Islamabad, he accused Prime Minister Imran Khan and his team of not only stealing the general elections held in 2018 from the PPP and other opposition parties, but also looting the people. “This man (Imran Khan) has made a mockery of ‘democracy’ and destroyed the country’s economy,” Bilawal said, and added, “We will protect the rights of each and every Pakistani. After reaching Islamabad, we will attack the government.”
A bus, carrying the personnel of the Special Security Unit, has also left with the PPP chairman while the party workers, on the other hand, have started gathering at different places of the Sindh capital such as Korangi, Landhi, Civic Center, Lyari, Kemari and are dancing to songs to show their enthusiasm.
It is worth mentioning here that the container Bilawal was travelling in is the same container in which his mother, late prime minister Benazir Bhutto (BB) had moved in a procession after landing at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on October 18, 2007.
