Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said that their concerns regarding the level-playing field are especially with a particular political party, which is Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
As the time of general elections drew nearer, the rift between the former allies grew with the PPP persistently voicing concerns regarding the absence of equal opportunities to prove itself ahead of the polls.
“The demand of provision of a level-playing field is from the PML-N,” the former foreign minister said while talking to media in Lahore on Tuesday.
Bilawal contended that the principles for the acquisition of developmental funds and completion of projects are clear.
It couldn’t be that Sindh doesn’t have permission to use the developmental budget, he added.
The scion of the Bhutto family said that work on developmental schemes is underway in Punjab and Centre but the trend for the use of development funds should be constant everywhere. “The level-playing field in the Centre and all provinces should be same for development [works].”
Bilawal went on to say that everyone realised his party’s argument regarding the level-playing field. “It would have been better that the matter of level-playing field was addressed by the parties [which were part] of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).”
Talking about the controversy surrounding the election date, Bilawal said that only the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has the authority to announce a date.
He called upon the election regulating body to announce the election schedule immediately.
