MITHI: In a renewed attack on political rivals PTI and PML-N, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said the people disappointed by the policies of Mehngai League and Tehreek-i-Inteshar, which caused a sharp rise in inflation and unrest in the country, would surprise these parties in Feb 8 elections.<\/p>\n
Addressing a jalsa in Mithi, the headquarters of Tharparkar district, the PPP chairman said when voted to power, the PPP would introduce Mazdoor Card to help mitigate the sufferings of citizens.<\/p>\n
He said that the PPP couldn\u2019t start the election campaign, as the Election Com\u00admission of Pakistan has not released poll\u2019s schedule, but looking at the passion of the people, he could foresee that on February 8, his party will win.<\/p>\n
He added if Asif Ali Zardari could get a prime minister of the opposition party elected within weeks of hard work, his indefatigable efforts could ensure that the next chief ministers and a prime minister were jiyalas.<\/p>\n
He said his manifesto was the same as that of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto and the slogan of \u2018Roti, Kapra aur Makaan\u2019 is much more relevant and needed this day than in the 1970s and 80s.<\/p>\n
\nVows to introduce Mazdoor card just like Benazir card<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Mr Bhutto-Zardari added Tharparkar was part of PPP\u2019s manifesto along with other key points for the 2024 elections. \u201cTharparkar is the manifesto of PPP, Tharparkar is the narrative of PPP, Tharparkar is the performance of PPP,\u201d he said, in reference to the development work carried out by the Sindh government at the grassroots level.<\/p>\n
The initiatives of PPP\u2019s provincial government changed the infrastructure of the district from a barren and inaccessible desert region to a model of best road network in Pakistan, he said, adding that the Thar Coal project was a dream of his mother which was turned into a reality by ex-president Zardari during his term.<\/p>\n
He said 20,000 locals got employment with the activation of just one block of Thar Coal, adding that as the project progresses, local people would get more employment opportunities.<\/p>\n
About the economic challenges faced by Pakistan, the PPP chairman said the solution lies only with the PPP.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will double salaries in five years. We will fight against the inflation,\u201d the PPP chairman said.<\/p>\n
Just like Benazir Income Support Programme, the next PPP government would issue Hari Card and Mazdoor<\/p>\n
Card for the welfare and uplift of labourers and peasants across Pakistan,
\nMr Bhutto-Zardari pledged.<\/p>\nNo to \u2018selected rule\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n
The PPP chairman said people would not accept any conspiracy and \u2018selected rule\u2019 this time, adding that people would have a choice of two or three parties during the election.<\/p>\n
He added voters would surprise those who pin their hopes on certain quarters for victory instead of the people.<\/p>\n
Mr Bhutto-Zardari said on the one hand, there is PTI whose leadership was allegedly responsible for the attacks on state institutions on May 9, and on the other hand were those friends [PML-N leaders] who had started copying PTI.<\/p>\n
People would give a befitting reply to both the parties on Feb 8, he claimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cInsha\u2019Allah, on February 8, we will defeat the Mehngai League, if you are with us,\u201d he said, adding that this time people would surprise them by ensuring the victory of PPP to establish \u201cpeople\u2019s rule\u201d in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
He said that on a visit to India, he had spoken about former MNA Dr Mahesh Kumar Malani, who belongs to the Hindu community and won the previous elections on a general seat of the National Assembly from Tharparkar. He said that both Muslims and Hindus had voted for Dr Malani in the previous election.<\/p>\n
The PPP chairman, with his party leaders, later went to the Malani House where they participated in Diwali celebrations. Besides Dr Malani, Murad Ali Shah, Nisar Khuhro, Gianchand Tharani, Sa\u00ad\u00adm\u00ad\u00ad\u00adtra Manjiani, Senator Kirshna Kolhi, Ka\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00admla Bheel, Dost Ali Rahimoon, Faqeer Sher Mohmmmad Bilalani, Nandlal Mala\u00ad\u00adhi and other PPP leaders were also present.<\/p>\n
