ISLAMABAD - Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari yesterday declared Prime Minister Imran Khan, “an imposter that has been imposed on the country.”
In a statement, he said the criminal ineptitude on display over the past three years have destroyed the economic, social and political fabric of Pakistan.
He added: “The only thing driving Imran Khan is his unbridled lust for power. He doesn’t care about will of the people as was evidenced by the widespread rigging that brought him here. The sheer shamelessness and criminality with which Imran Khan came to power shows that he will stop at nothing to satiate his ego.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world, and Pakistan is not an exception, however the way the PTI led federal government have used the pandemic as an excuse to get social protections, ruin the economy, deflect responsibility, and persecute the opposition, shows the lengths that they will go to hold onto power.
The PPP chief said that Imran Khan seriously lacks any sense as to how the country should be governed. The fact that Pakistan’s poverty levels have skyrocketed, with numbers inching towards 50 percent, it would seem like Imran Khan is trying his level best to reincarnate the years of his political mentor, dictator Pervez Musharraf.

“Those policies took us down a path of absolute ruin, and Imran Khan and his government have once again set us down that path,” he said. “The only viable option for Pakistan is for the Prime Minister to resign, he added.”
It is candidly clear that Prime Minister Imran Khan will soon join his predecessors Musharraf and the rented PM Shaukat Aziz in living a lavish lifestyle abroad, after bringing about a complete fiscal default to the country.
“If PM Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi has even an iota of care for the well being of the masses he has no option but tendering an unconditional apology to all Pakistanis for bringing the country to ruin,” he added. “The Prime Minister’s federal cabinet is busy enjoying their ill gotten gains at the cost of the national exchequer, while the masses are being crushed under the burden of inflation and unemployment,” he alleged.
“The PM is not only guilty of mismanaging the economy and causing sky-rocketing inflation, but also giving carte blanche to the multitude of mafias he calls his political party,” he said.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Zardari said that Imran Khan should take a look at the wreckage of the country around him, and take stock of how long he thinks he can get away with all his crimes by blaming the opposition, when his fingerprints are all over the scene of his horrendous crimes.
