Pakistan: Biawal Bhutto Zardari launches march to protest against Imran Khan govt
Islamabad: Pakistan's key opposition leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday began a march towards Islamabad from the Quaid-i-Azam’s mausoleum with the pledge that the long march would demonstrate that Imran Khan’s government had lost the nation’s trust.
Charged workers of the Sindh’s ruling party, including women and children, turned up in large numbers to participate in what they called a “final push” against the “weakened and unjust” government at the Centre, as the PPP chairman raised a 38-point charter of demands and called for a nationwide and unified movement of all opposition parties to bring down the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) rule, reports The Dawn.
In his loud, clear and strong-worded speech, Mr Bhutto-Zardari sounded confident about the success of the anti-inflation campaign of the opposition parties and described the long march as the ‘beginning’ of the end of the premier’s rule through a ‘no-trust move’ in the parliament.
“You [people of the country] have heralded a war and let me tell you that Islamabad is trembling,” the PPP chairman was quoted as saying by The Dawn.
“This storm of public anger against Niazi and his government is just the beginning of what lies ahead. From now onwards for the next 10 days, people from across the country would send him messages of their sentiments and make a countdown. It’s the beginning. It’s the beginning of an end. It's the beginning of a new era. It’s the beginning of a realization [prevailing] among the masses that their dreams were snatched over the last three years and their hopes were stolen in the name of change," he said.
