\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday dismissed any notion that his party could be intimidated by the \u201cpoliticians from Lahore\u201d, asserting that a vigorous contest was awaited in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Addressing an election rally in Rahim Yar Khan, a day after Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif\u2019s maiden election speech in Hafizabad, Bilawal said that the PPP would contest the elections without the fear of anyone, and with full determination to win.<\/p>\n

In an apparent reference to the PML-N leadership, Bilawal said that the tiger \u2013 the electoral symbol of the PML-N \u2014 emerged yesterday (Thursday) and \u201cI hope he does not retreat after seeing the huge number of people\u201d present at the rally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a message for the \u2018politicians from Lahore\u2019 that we are not afraid and will take the challenge [to contest polls] head-on,\u201d the PPP chief told the cheering crowd. \u201cThe victory belongs to you [people], the (Pakistan) Peoples Party, and the arrow <\/span>[the electoral symbol of the PPP],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged the difficulties being faced by the masses because of rising unemployment and inflation. However, he emphasised that only the PPP was earnestly contesting the elections based on its manifesto to mitigate people\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He promised to implement the PPP\u2019s 10-point welfare agenda to combat inflation and poverty immediately after assuming the government if elected on Feb 8.<\/p>\n

He assured the people that he would always fulfil the promises made to the masses.<\/p>\n
