FI
Home PPP chairman calls on PTI to return to democratic politics, says it will benefit the party and its leaders Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has urged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to abandon what he described as extremist politics and return to conventional political engagement. “Based on our history and experience, our advice is that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should leave extremism and bring its politics back within democratic boundaries. This will be better for their party, their leader, their workers and for the country’s overall political environment,” Bilawal said while inaugurating an intensive care unit at the Larkana Children’s Hospital on Sunday. Bilawal criticised PTI for attacking state institutions following the arrest of its leader, saying his party would have faced far harsher consequences had it acted similarly. “If PTI attacked institutions after the arrest of its leader and nothing happened, I ask what would have become of us if the PPP had done the same?” he said.
