“Shehbaz Sharif will also have to extend thanks to PTI after becoming PM,” PPP chief says
Criticising the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for not allying against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said Saturday that the Imran-founded party had never tried to block Shehbaz Sharif’s way to the Prime Minister’s Office through holding political talks with the PPP.
“Shehbaz Sharif would also have to extend thanks to the PTI after becoming the PM,” Bilawal said while taking a dig at the Imran-founded party in a press conference in Karachi.
“The PTI founder may have decided to not fight against Shehbaz. We are giving votes to the party which approached us [to form the next government in the Centre],” Bilawal, who was the foreign minister during Shehbaz’s previous stint as PM, said.
The politico also commented on Imran Khan’s letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to block financial aid to Pakistan over alleged rigging in the February 8 nationwide polls and said: “The letter has no importance but it would expose their [PTI] real face before the nation.”
