PTI cannot answer questions, still haven't accepted challenges: Bilawal
July 15, 2020
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Tuesday that the PTI did not have any answers to the questions that he was asking from the government and had still not accepted his challenges.
Taking to Twitter, the PPP chairman said that he addressed a press conference on Monday to speak regarding the failures of the PTI-led government, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Kashmir issue, the economic situation of the country and other matters.
The PPP chairman said his first challenge to PM Imran was to have a face-off with him and other political party leaders, either in the parliament or on TV.
The other one was to compare the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD) – a chain of hospitals across Sindh – with any of those formed by the PTI government.
Bilawal said that the third challenge was to compare the per capita coronavirus testing in Sindh and Punjab/ Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (both with the PTI in power).
The PPP chairman has time and again asked the prime minister to have a debate with him on the political issues of the country.
‘PTI failed to unite nation on Kashmir cause’
The PPP chairman, in his press conference on Monday, said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is a threat to democracy and slammed the government’s foreign policy on Kashmir.
“Imran Khan is the first and the last prime minister who failed to unite the nation on the Kashmir cause.”
Every government in the past — dictatorship, democratic, selected, or elected — was able to unite the people on the cause of Kashmir, he had said, adding: “I am surprised that despite all these problems, prime minister, on the floor of the house, said that PTI’s foreign policy has been the most successful.”
Reacting to the criticism Sindh has been facing for its response towards coronavirus, Bilawal had said that the province had the highest testing capacity per capita, free of cost treatment for patients, and free tests for the virus were being conducted in the province.
“Our Intensive Care Units (ICU) and High Dependency Units (HDU) are more than any province. The [Centre] celebrated 100 days of battling coronavirus in the National Command and Control Centre, while Sindh inaugurated a 50-bedded hospital,” he had stated.
