GHOTKI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Thursday claimed that "puppet parties" were being favoured in the country ahead of the General Election 2018.

The PPP chairman visited Sukkur, Pano Akil and Ghotki areas in interior Sindh, as part of his ongoing election campaign.

In his address with rallies, he said puppet alliances backed Nawaz Sharif and Pervez Musharraf in the past.

"They do the politics of taking the life, while ours revolves around sacrificing one's own life," Bilawal slammed opponents.

Promising to continue the democratic struggle, he said that his party could never make a compromise on democracy.

"We want such a democracy in which human rights are respected," the PPP chairman said.

He said that a puppet alliance was made against the PPP like the past, but the masses welcomed him in every nook and cranny of Sindh province.

Yesterday, the PPP chairman was seen mocking opponents for challenging his party despite having no manifesto. The PPP chairman was addressing a rally in Sindh’s Sakrand area.

"Taliban Khan and the one asking 'Why was I ousted', both have no manifestos. How can they contest against us?" said the PPP chairman.

Bilawal's election rally Thursday reached Khangarh city in Ghotki district on the fourth day of his campaign that began from Karachi on Sunday.

He has since visited Hyderabad, Thatta, Tando Jam, Hatri Bypass, Mithiani, Hala, Nawabshah and Sanghar among other districts.

After completing his tour of Sindh, the 29-year-old is expected to head to Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
