ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party Co-Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari alleged on Saturday that at least three federal ministers are close aides of terrorists.
“As many as three federal ministers are close aides of terrorists. Rather than taking away their cabinet ministries, the government recently appointed one like them,” the PPP chairman referred to the appointment of Brigadier (retd) Ijaz Shah as federal parliamentary affairs ministers in a brief conversation with journalists at Naudero.
The PPP leader said that for the sake of a better future there is a dire need to take action against terrorists and members of proscribed organisations.
He said that while the premier holds the right to appoint people in the cabinet but what message does he want to give by appointing terrorists as federal cabinet ministers.
“PM Khan’s government starts and end at the NAB,” he said. “NAB is a draconian law introduced to victimise opposition.”
The PPP leader said that the premier is not serious in eliminating corruption and alleged that he manufactures fake graft cases against the opposition.
“Justice doesn’t discriminate. A federal minister face too many charges but no one can arrest him,” he said.
Bilawal said that PM Khan gave an inappropriate statement om Afghanistan, adding that he wants to see the Afghan crisis resolved by the Afghan representatives.
“Their opposition won’t be pressurised by the government and PPP won’t let government snatch peoples’ right,” he added.
