LAHORE -UNS: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Sunday called on PTI workers to support his party in the upcoming general election, vowing to “bury politics of revenge”.
“I have experienced the oppression of the PML-N and I would never wish for any political party worker to endure such hardship,” he told a public meeting in Lahore, where his younger sister Aseefa was also in attendance.
“I do not believe in politics of oppression,” he added.
The PPP chairman emphasised that the upcoming elections were a contest between the PML-N and the PPP, and urged PTI workers to lend their support to the latter.
He asserted that imprisoning women belonging to rival parties was not called politics.
“Those who profess to uphold the sanctity of the vote are currently engaging in political manoeuvres that betray their original ideology,” he said in reference to the PML-N.
Bilawal also extended an invitation to PML-N workers, saying, “Come to me, and I will respect your vote and take care of you.”
He insisted that he would unite the country by rooting out politics of division and hatred. “I respect everyone and believe in consensus,” he said.
The PPP leader said the reins of country could not be handed over to veteran politicians, alleging that they had repeatedly failed to keep their promises to the people.
Referring to his rivals, the PPP leader said “they (older politicians) have taken turns to become the prime minister.”
He also noted that the PPP was the only party that fulfilled its promises.
