PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Thursday that he was the only politician in the country whose \u201chands were clean\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no politician in any other political party whose hands are clean. Their politics [revolve around] filling their pockets. I am the only politician who has been doing politics since the age of 19, since 2007 [\u2026] I was also the youngest foreign minister for 18 months,\u201d Bilawal said while addressing a workers\u2019 convention in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Shangla.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy hands are clean, even my opponents cannot say [anything]. Keeping your hands clean in Pakistani politics is difficult. There is no stain of corruption on my hands nor the blood of the country,\u201d he said as he raised both his hands in the air.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of filling my own pockets, I want to fill your pockets, the pockets of the country\u2019s labourers,\u201d he said as he vowed to double the income of the common man in five years.<\/p>\n
During his address, Bilawal also said that older politicians \u2014 who he has criticised on several occasions in recent days \u2014 were still practicing politics of hatred and division and were not concerned about the issues plaguing the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the only party who will give you roti, kapra aur makaan<\/em> (bread, clothes and shelter). We are the only party which says we do not have a political opponent [\u2026] our fight is with poverty, inflation and unemployment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not know abusive politics, TikTok politics. And yes, we do not know the politics of Gate No 4 [of GHQ],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have to introduce new politics where the people are served and the people are made stronger,\u201d he said. Bilawal said that he had learned from his elders to believe in the power of the people.<\/p>\n He said that Pakistan was passing through a difficult time but the PPP had a five-year plan to bring the country out of crisis.<\/p>\n Bilawal also promised to bring up the salary of the common man to double digits if elected, and introduce a programme for the country\u2019s youth and to further develop the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP).<\/p>\n He said PPP would represent the people by becoming their voice and would do their best to ease the lives of the common man.<\/p>\n The former FM said he had been trained to have a clear vision and mission, adding that his only purpose was to work for the country and its people in order to bring a positive change in their lives.<\/p>\n Bilawal also challenged other politicians to find even \u201ca single rupee\u201d of corruption against him. \u201cI do not know politics of corruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Thursday that he was the only politician in the country whose \u201chands were clean\u201d. \u201cThere is no politician in any other political party whose hands are clean.
