Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in conversationwith CNN, has said that the PPP worked with a coalition government to oustMr. Khan through a no-confidence motion, reported 24News HD TV channel.
“He tried to thwart our moves with what amounts to a constitutional coupbut the Supreme Court of Pakistan decided against him. Ultimately, theparliament finished the democratic process to vote him out of office.”
Answering a question regarding Chairman Bilawal being a foreign ministerunder a PM not from his own party, he said that it would be difficult forthe party to stomach, being the second-largest member of the coalition.
“However, we do have to work together to address Pakistan’s problems. Iwould follow whatever the party decides in the better interest of thenation. At this point, all parties that are in the alliance that hasdefeated Imran Khan must work together for the restoration of democracy,electoral reforms and try to address the economic issues.”
“We absolutely want free and fair elections but in order for them to takeplace, we must legislate when it comes to the electoral reforms. Aseverybody knows, the 2018 elections that Khan used to come to power havebeen widely seen and condemned not only nationally but internationally asrigged and compromised elections that resulted in three years of anautocratic dictatorial rule through the office of Imran Khan. He not onlyrobbed our media of media freedoms but robbed average Pakistanis of theirdemocratic rights that they we had just recently started to enjoy.
