– Culprits of Model Town case should be brought to justice: Bilawal Bhutto –
Separately, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that the culprits in the Model Town case should be brought to justice.
Speaking to media in Lahore, Bhutto-Zardari said, ''We have got the plans in line with the manifesto. We have the tradition of fulfilling the promises like the other political parties.''
He was of the view that there is a need for a government that will prioritise the needs of the masses.
Bhutto-Zardari took a swipe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder, saying, ''The PTI founder used to say that the inflation is not his headache. Will there be any objective of the PTI if it votes into power again?''
''The PTI will have the objective of indulging in political vendettas,'' he said.
The former foreign minister posed the question for PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, saying, ''What will be the agenda of Nawaz Sharif if he becomes the next premier?''
He recalled the Model Town incident, saying, '' I have been briefed about the Model Town incident. Those who were involved in the Model Town incident should be brought to justice. It is everybody's demand to conduct an investigation in connection with the Model Town incident''.
