Let me remind PML-N, they don\u2019t have two-third majority to act unilaterally: PPP chairman
\n Karachi
\nPakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has urged the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to make decisions based on consensus rather than unilaterally, cautioning that ignoring smaller provinces could lead to discord.
\nAddressing a gathering in Larkana, Bilawal criticised PML-N\u2019s governance approach. \u201cIf they want to govern successfully, they must make decisions with mutual agreement. They seem to believe they have a two-thirds majority and do not need to consult anyone,\u201d he said.
\nThe PPP chief stressed the need for equitable resource distribution, highlighting water as a basic right for all provinces. \u201cThe federal government must ensure that provinces receive their rightful share,\u201d he asserted.
\nBilawal recalled that the PPP supported the PML-N\u2019s prime ministerial candidate based on a mutual understanding. \u201cWe voted for their prime minister with the hope that our grievances would be addressed seriously,\u201d he said.
\nHowever, he criticised the federal government\u2019s attitude toward smaller provinces, claiming it had failed to honour commitments on development projects. \u201cIt was agreed that the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) would be prepared in collaboration with provinces, but this has not been the case,\u201d he added.
\nBilawal singled out PML-N\u2019s approach as dismissive of provincial rights. \u201cThey think their majority gives them the authority to make one-sided controversial decisions. Let me remind them, they don\u2019t have the kind of majority to act unilaterally,\u201d he said.
\nHe compared recent decisions about canal infrastructure to the controversial Kalabagh Dam project. \u201cThe decision to construct canals was made unilaterally, just like the Kalabagh Dam. Resistance to such projects didn\u2019t start in Sindh but in KP, and we ensured such contentious plans weren\u2019t implemented,\u201d he explained.
\nBilawal warned that federal harmony hinges on consensus-based decision-making, reiterating that divisive policies could jeopardise the stability of the PML-N government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
