Bilawal said that Khan cannot become Zulfikar Ali Bhutto with his rhetoric on foreign policy, saying that his policies did no good to the country.
“You are a foreign-sponsored agent who was planted in our system to destroy the country’s economy, slow down the work on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and isolate Pakistan at the international level with wrong policies,” the PPP Chairman said, adding that the PTI government’s policies had angered Pakistan’s long-term allies.
“He is adopting the foreign policy of India. What is the difference between his foreign policy and that of India right now?
“You have distanced Pakistan from its long-term friends – the US and the European Union – with which we have trade relations worth billions of dollars,” he said.
The PPP Chair said that the people of Pakistan resent the incumbent government’s economic policies and will not forgive anyone who votes in favour of you in the no-confidence motion.
