Commenting on the recent political alliance in Sindh, Bilawal said that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) alliance would only benefit PPP instead of causing any political dent.
He said that Jiyalas would contest elections from all constituencies across the country.
The PPP Chairman said that the former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa held a meeting before the no-confidence motion and offered to organise elections if political parties withdraw the no-trust move.
Bilawal said that it is inappropriate to target an institution after reaching the opposition benches.

While addressing a press conference in Karachi’s Ibrahim Hyderi, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that Karachiites are standing with PPP and they will also form government in the Centre on February 8.
“For the first time, mayor, chief minister and prime minister would be jiyalas. I take responsibility for changing the fate of Pakistan including Karachi.”
