Bilawal said that he would not tolerate corruption and that the PPP leaders must prioritise to address the public issues. “We want the continuation of development schemes in the Centre and provinces.”

The PPP chairman slammed the caretaker government and the ECP for creating hurdles in the completion of the development schemes.

He said that PPP is the only political party that can pull the country out of the crisis. “LG representatives must fulfil their responsibilities. The delimitation process has been completed and now, the ECP should have announced the election date.”
