Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday said Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan is responsible for all the crises in the country.

Talking to reporters here, the PPP chief said the incumbent government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has itself put the federal capital on lockdown. “We will continue efforts to send the government packing,” he said, adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan is the country’s ‘biggest problem’ and his resignation will solve issues being faced by the country. “With his [prime minister’s] resignation, all issues in Pakistan would be resolved,” he said.

Lamenting that no attention is being paid to Asif Ali Zardari’s ailments, Bilawal claimed that the government is trying to pressurise the PPP by using such tactics. Referring to the ruling PTI’s protest in 2014, the PPP chairman reminded the prime minister of his first address in parliament and said, “In his first address to the parliament after taking office, Imran Khan had said if any party wants to protest, his government will provide food and containers for the protest.” “Unfortunately, the government itself is now locking down the capital amid JUI-F’s Azadi March. This does not happen in a democracy that one pressurises the NAB and the judiciary to intensify a crackdown against opponents,” he added. Bilawal reiterated his pledge to overthrow the government and send it home. “Prime Minister Imran Khan is a hurdle when it comes to the restoration of democracy, economic revival and media freedom. He is the biggest problem in Pakistan.
