18th Amendment created resourceless institutions

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that after 18th Amendment, the provinces got institutions not the resources.He said that the red light must not be crossed regarding the 18th Amendment, as such an attempt would not be tolerated. He said that selected premier’s politics starts from National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and ends at the Bureau."PM Khan's government starts and end at the NAB," he said. "NAB is a draconian law introduced to victimise opposition." The PPP leader said that the premier is not serious in eliminating corruption and alleged that he manufactures fake graft cases against the opposition."Justice doesn't discriminate. A federal minister faces too many charges but no one can arrest him," he said.Bilawal said that PM Khan gave an inappropriate statement about Afghanistan, adding that he wants to see the Afghan crisis resolved by the Afghan representatives.He alleged that at least three federal ministers are close aides of the terrorists."As many as three federal ministers are close aides of terrorists. Rather than taking away their cabinet ministries, the government recently appointed one like them," the PPP chairman referred to the appointment of Brigadier (R) Ijaz Shah as federal parliamentary affairs ministers in a brief conversation with journalists at Naudero.The PPP leader said that for the sake of a better future there is a dire need to take action against terrorists and members of proscribed organisations.He said that while the premier holds the right to appoint people in the cabinet but what message does he want to give by appointing terrorists as federal cabinet ministers."Their opposition won't be pressurised by the government and PPP won't let government snatch peoples' right," he added. He said that the political rivals are also calling caravan-e-Bhutto as train march.He said that it was strange that Nawaz Sharif was granted bail and Shahbaz’ name was removed from the Exit Control List (ECL) and he would not term it selected justice as some people were meted out harsh treatment while others were dealt with lightly.
