On Wednesday, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari announced the party’s decision to sever ties with its allies due to their lack of interest in tackling crucial issues like inflation and terrorism. Speaking at the commemoration event for the 16th death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, Bilawal declared that PPP would independently contest the upcoming elections, adopting the distinctive “Arrow” mark as its symbol.
Expressing the party’s commitment to a revolutionary manifesto, Bilawal asserted that PPP views elections as a competition and is unafraid of the democratic process. He emphasized the necessity of a government dedicated to addressing the common man’s problems, asserting PPP’s readiness to take on that responsibility.
