ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan, taking a potshot at Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, said on Monday he deemed democracy a licence to corruption.
In a tweet, she said: “Bilawal Sahib, your meaning of democracy is a licence to corruption. The nation has not forgotten your democracy of plunder.”
“The two families encouraged an inherited political dictatorship under the garb of democracy,” she said, adding the thing that bothered them is Prime Minister Imran Khan’s having established a true rule of the people.
بلاول صاحب! آپ کی جمہوریت کا مطلب لائسنس ٹو کرپشن ہے۔قوم آپ کی لوٹ مار والی جمہوریت نہیں بھولی۔جمہوریت کے لبادے میں دو خاندانوں نے موروثی سیاسی آمریت کو پروان چڑھایا۔عمران خان سے تکلیف اس لیے ہے کہ اس نے حقیقی عوامی راج قائم کیا۔

Earlier today, Mr Bhutto-Zardari, addressing a public meeting in Lower Dir, said the PPP would not compromise on the 18th amendment and National Finance Commission (NFC) Award.
He said the PPP is the only party which carried out development works in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the tribal areas during its tenure.
