He challenged political parties to specify the seats allegedly rigged, asking, \u201cWas my Larkana seat rigged?\u201d<br \/>\nBilawal highlighted PPP\u2019s claim to victory in two provincial seats, PS-124 and PS-125 in Karachi, based on Form-45. However, he alleged that these seats were unfairly given to other candidates through rigging. \u201cWe will fight a legal battle with evidence. If justice is not served, we will announce the next course of action,\u201d he declared.<br \/>\nCommenting on the unfolding political scenario, Bilawal speculated that Imran Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), may have decided not to field a candidate against PML-N\u2019s prime minister candidate Shehbaz Sharif. He emphasised that Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), allied with independent candidates associated with PTI, should be truthful to its workers, asserting that they lack the majority in the National Assembly.<br \/>\nRegarding economic matters, Bilawal criticised Imran Khan\u2019s approach to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stating that writing a letter will not alleviate the crisis in Pakistan but exacerbate unemployment and inflation. Bilawal accused Khan of prioritising politics over national interests.<br \/>\nExpressing concern over violent incidents during the election, Bilawal announced plans to form a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) after the formation of the government in Sindh. He said the JIT will be aimed to investigate and bring justice to all parties involved in violent incidents during the election campaign, ensuring severe punishment in accordance with the law.<br \/>\nBilawal vowed to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PPP chairman slams Imran for approaching IMF, accuses him of
