Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday announced to lead long march against the PTI led government from February 27.

Addressing the press conference in Lahore, he said that the long march will be initiated from Karachi and will end in Islamabad.

“We will put forward our demands when we reach Islamabad,” he said.

Bilawal also demanded fair and transparent elections in the country, saying immediate elections were the only solution to the country's political and economic crisis.

The PPP chairman said that the people did not want to wait for another two years and wanted to get rid of the 'selected' government as soon as possible.

Bilawal said that a deal was made against the economic stability of the country with the international institutions and now State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) will be accountable to the IMF instead of the parliament, and the judiciary.

He was referring to the SBP (Amendment) Bill, which was presented in the National Assembly last month to meet the conditions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Bilawal also criticised the government for holding negotiations with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and accused it of compromising the sovereignty of the country.

“Pakistan Peoples Party expresses its concerns over the secret negotiations with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan,” he said. “The PTI government has sold Pakistan’s sovereignty. The PTI has not taken parliament into confidence on any issue.”

He said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had promised 10 million jobs during his tenure. However, instead of giving jobs, he increased joblessness in the country.

Bilawal said that former president Asif Ali Zardari was the most powerful civilian head of the state, however, he devolved his powers through a constitutional amendment for the sake of democracy.

Speaking about the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Bilawal said that the PDM did not consult before announcing its march.

The PDM has the right to march according to its own procedure and whether they resign from parliament or not, he said.
