He also recalled his challenge to the PML-N leaders for a debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is truly unfortunate that PMLN did not agree to a debate for PM candidates. One myth I hoped to address is the fiction that due to PMLN, Punjab performs better than other provinces,\u201d the PPP chairman wrote in one of his posts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Hafiz Pasha\u2019s book; \u2018Human Security in Pakistan\u2019 demonstrates. Sindh now preforms better than Punjab in many areas. Such as governance, freedom from want, freedom from fear, gross regional income and human security over all,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPMLN knows this and this is why they ran away from a debate. Unfortunately the media perpetuates the myth of PMLNs performance. The people know the truth. IA the people will vote for real performance over \u2018showbazi\u2019 tomorrow,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In another post on X, Bilawal shared data about Pakistan\u2019s exports of goods and services, and said that everyone agreed that increasing exports was the only way out for country from the ongoing economic crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The dats showed Pakistan\u2019s exports were worth $20.5 billion in 2008; $31.5 billion in 2013; [the period when the PPP was in power from 2008-13]; $30.5 billion in 2018; [the PML-N government from 2013-18] $39.5 billion in 2022 [the PTI government] and $36 billion in 2023 [the PDM coalition government].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time PMLN has been in control of finance exports have decreased. The last time PPP was incharge exports increased the most despite a global recession. PPP is better at managing the economy \u2013 fact!\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari challenged the \u201cmyth\u201d that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government fared better than his party\u2019s government in Sindh, expressing the hope that the people would vote for \u201creal\u201d performance.
