Nawaz wanted to use Article 62, 63 against opponents, says Bilawal

CHITRAL: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Bilawal Bhutto said on Saturday that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif wanted to use Article 62,63 of the Constitution against his political opponents which is why he opposed the PPP's attempts to do away with the law.

“We had repeatedly said that the law was introduced by a dictator and is against the spirit of Constitution but Nawaz Sharif did not budge. Now he himself has fallen prey to it,” said Bilawal addressing a rally here.

Bilawal calls for 'across the board accountability'

PPP chairperson said Nawaz Sharif's removal poses no threat to Parliament, democracy

He said that the politics of hypocrisy by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president has ended, adding that Nawaz should not be under the impression that he can now walk away and will be held accountable for “money looted from the masses…[and] injustices towards the poor and the farmers”.

Taking a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan, Bilawal said that Imran’s politics is based on abuse and hurling insults at others, and asked him to also question Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak “who is facing allegations of corruption”.

He also asked why there has been a sudden rise in “educated women leaving PTI”, referring to the incident of former PTI member Ayesha Gulalai who has levelled serious allegations of harassment against Imran Khan.
