Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari reveals instructions to withdraw no-confidence motion

Speaking to media in Karachi, Bhutto-Zardari said, “The city [Karachi] played a significant role in paving the way for the PPP in the local body elections. The people of Karachi are hard workers and deserve the facilities. The people will cast for his party on February 8."

"The alliance between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) will reap benefits for us [the PPP] instead of harm," he stated.

Recalling the events that transpired during the vote of no-confidence motion, Bhutto-Zardari said: “Ahead of the vote of no-confidence motion, we were asked to withdraw the vote of no-confidence motion against the former premier [PTI chief]. It was said that we were ready for the elections. If it was a real help,  such a request would not have come.”

"There was a need of the hour to make Shehbaz Sharif the country’s premier,” he maintained.

The former foreign minister admitted the country is facing severe economic hardships. “We wanted to overcome the political and democratic crises in the country,” he said.

Giving his take regarding the possible alliance with JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, he said, “We can join hands with Maulana Fazlur Rehman or even contest against him in the elections..”
