    Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has castigated “old politicians” and blamed their “ego and stubbornness” for the economic woes affecting the country.

    Addressing the public gathering in Larkana, Bhutto-Zardari said: “We will have to stage politics that will pave the way for the country's unity.

    "If my votes are snatched, I will chase them in such a way that we will even forget the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder," maintained Bhutto-Zardari.

    The former foreign minister took a jibe at the political opponents, saying, "Only the PPP can bring prosperity to the country."

    "They [political opponents] are trying to befool the people, but the masses are politically enlightened," Bhutto-Zardari said.

    He said: “Because of their personal enmity they have hurt Pakistan’s economy, the federation and democracy.”

    He said they were not worried about how democracy or the economy were being affected due to their stubbornness.

    “We have been pushed into an economic crisis because of their personal enmity. Inflation, unemployment and poverty have reached historic levels yet they don’t worry, if they worry then it is only about the chair.”

    Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that his party will not allow anybody to stage the politics of “hatred and division.”

    Few days back, Bhutto-Zardari said that the barrage of arrows will hunt the political opponents on February 8.

    Addressing the public gathering in Hyderabad, the former foreign minister said: "If you [masses] are asked to vote for the independent candidates, then do not waste your votes."

    He vowed to uplift the women by providing them with employment.

    "The people of Hyderabad had extended their support to the PPP. It is a matter of delight for me that today I am in front of the PPP workers from Hyderabad," Bhutto-Zardari said.

    He reiterated his pledge to provide free electricity to up to 300 units with solar. "I will construct three million houses for the masses," he added.
