Larkana (Web Desk): Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday announced that his party will launch a decisive movement against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government on January 5, 2022 in Lahore.

Bilawal said that that in Pakistan, there is no freedom of speech, freedom of living, or even breathing.
“We had said that democracy is the best revenge and hence, we restored the system despite all the ill-practices,” the PPP chief said, adding that democracy was snatched from the people of Pakistan.
Biawal that PPP fought terrorism while the incumbent government is negotiating over the blood of Army Public School (APS) martyrs, adding that the prime minister and president of Pakistan have surrendered in front of terrorists.
Shedding light on the economic potential of Pakistan, he said that the PPP took over the country’s economy at a time when there was an economic crisis around the world.
“18th Amendment can bring mega energy projects in Thar desert,” Bilawal stated, adding that there are metro buses in Punjab, because of the 18th amendment.
“After PPP left the federal government, implementation of the 18th amendment was stopped,” he stated.
He said that Pakistanis are bearing the burden of a puppet and selected government.
"We have to take our message to every corner of the country," he said, announcing that the PPP central executive committee would establish its base in Lahore on January 5, on the birth anniversary of late party founder and former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
Addressing the gathering, PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari said that the PPP would form the next government in the country.
