Bilawal to launch protest movement
Bilawal Bhutto to launch countrywide movement from March
“We will
start a countrywide campaign against this anti-people and PTIMF budget if the
federal government does not renegotiate its deal with the IMF. The Centre
should introduce a package for Pakistan's benefit,” he said while speaking at
the inauguration ceremony of the People’s Urban Forest.
“Their economic policy is anti-people and their budget is not theirs,
rather it is the PTIMF budget. The people of the country do not accept it and
neither does the PPP,” he lamented.
“You have
seen it for yourself, how people have been deprived of their jobs. They haven’t
negotiated with the IMF in the right manner. Poor have to bear the burden of
their imposed polices,” he said.
"Imran
Khan had promised to give the youth of this country 10 billion jobs, and had
promised to construct five million houses. But in the duration this government
has been in power, they have only taken from the people," he said.
Bilawal
added that the PPP had warned against the government’s economic policies as
early as when they had introduced the budget. “This was not Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf
(PTI) budget, it was the budget of the (PT)IMF [International Monetary Fund],”
he said.
