LAHORE: In fiery response to Pakistan Peoples' Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's press conference, where he announced support for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's prime ministerial candidate while refraining from participating in government at Centre, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf has unleashed barrage of criticisms.

According to statement issued by spokesperson for PTI, Bilawal's move is merely ploy to deceive public after being rejected in elections. Spokesperson accused remnants of Pakistan Democratic Movement of orchestrating new drama, describing their actions as an attempt to mislead people.

"If Bilawal Bhutto's thinking were truly democratic, he would have recognised available public mandate to PTI instead of siding with pirates of Jati Umrah, Sharif family," PTI spokesperson declared, adding that PPP has dark history regarding recognition of public mandates.

Spokesperson criticised Bilawal's attempt to keep his family's political legacy alive through alleged corruption and power-sharing influenced by Zardari's cues. Drawing on historical events, PTI spokesperson asserted that PPP's facilitation had once led to secession of Pakistan's eastern wing, now known as Bangladesh, due to open contempt for public mandate.

"Today, Zardari's son is trying to keep his family and hereditary politics alive through blatant corruption and power-sharing on Zardari's cues," spokesperson remarked.

Highlighting the ideological differences, spokesperson underscored that PTI, founded by Imran Khan sees PPP and PML-N as two sides of same coin, responsible for economic challenges and inflation in country.

Spokesperson concluded by reiterating PTI's commitment to thwarting any conspiracies or behind-the-scenes machinations, promising to make country and its people safe from what they perceive as harmful influence of PPP and PML-N.
