Sources confirmed to said that after Bilawal’s remarks, the government extended an offer for a meeting, which was promptly rejected.
Bilawal explained that his refusal was not based on personal issues with the government, but rather stemmed from the concerns of his voters and provincial governments. Bilawal Bhutto emphasized that the PPP had grievances with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) over handling administrative matters in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The former foreign minister, Bilawal Bhutto noted that the PML-N had been sidelining the PPP in the administrative affairs of these provinces, despite an earlier agreement that the PPP would be a partner in managing the administrative matters in both Punjab and KP. He further expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of consultation with PPP governors regarding the governance in these provinces.
Additionally, Bilawal Bhutto raised concerns over the federal government’s approach towards the development plans in Sindh and Balochistan, highlighting the PPP’s reservations over the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) in these provinces.
To address these issues, Bilawal has formed a committee that includes two chief ministers and two governors, urging the federal government and the prime minister to meet with this committee to resolve the issues. He expressed his surprise at the government ignoring the demands of PPP workers and voters.
