Islamabad (Web Desk): Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto on Saturday termed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder’s statement as an attack on democracy.
Taking the floor of the National Assembly, he said that Friday’s statement of PTI founder is an attack on every constitutional institute.

The PPP chief however, proposed that the PTI should probe the matter whether it was a statement from the PTI founder or from anyone else.

“Imran Khan attempted to target the sitting Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) and the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), Bilawal said, adding that the PTI founder will have to face the consequences of his provocative statement.

The PPP chairman also congratulated the newly elected Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Makhdom Tahir Rasheeduddin from Rahim Yar Khan.

He thanked the people of Rahim Yar Khan and coalition parties for supporting Makhdom Tahir and rejecting the politics of conspiracies, abuses, and the ‘prisoner number 804’.

Earlier, the newly elected MNA Makhdom Tahir Rasheeduddin took oath as member of the Lower House.

Deputy Speaker Syed Ghulam Mustafa Shah administered the oath.
