Fawad, pointing at Bilawal Bhutto, said that a “newborn leader” has also marched to Islamabad using the Sindh government’s resources. The National Financial Commission’s money that was bound to be spent for the welfare of the people of Sindh, has been spent on PPP’s long march, he said.

Talking about the no-trust motion submitted by the opposition parties he said that, if the opposition has the required 172 members support for the no-trust move then they should issue a list. I will request the speaker not to prolong the no-trust move and summon a session of the parliament as soon as possible.
