Will quit federal ministries ‘if promises to flood victims not fulfilled’: Bilawal

Expressing his frustration at his own coalition government, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has warned the Centre of quitting ministries “if the promises made to flood affecters in Sindh are not fulfilled”.

He made the remarks while addressing a ceremony after the inauguration of the Seed Subsidy program under BISP for flood-affected farmers in Karachi on Sunday.

“The promises to flood victims are needed to be fulfilled otherwise it will be difficult for us to hold our [federal] ministries,” Bilawal said.

In December last year, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during his visit to Pir Guddu and Kot Diji flood-affected areas in the Khairpur district, inspected the post-flood rehabilitation work and announced the construction of houses for flood victims.

The PPP leader, while expressing his severe concerns and regret, said that the promises made to the flood affecters by the federal government could not be fulfilled. The flood-hit community is going through a hard time amid rising inflation in the country, he added.
