"We are a democratic party and our march is a democratic right. This march compelled the puppet to reduce the price of petrol and the tariff of electricity. We will come to Islamabad and remove him. We will hold him accountable for stealing sugar, flour, gas, petrol, fertiliser." He said that PM Imran has orchestrated the economic crisis for the common people in the country. Bilawal asked PTI MNAs to side with the no-confidence motion if they want to be "pardoned by the people of Pakistan". He said that the people supported the party of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and his daughter Benazir Bhutto. "The PPP gave this country democracy, Constitution, atomic power, rights to labourers and growers, BISP to women and employment. Support the party which has always worked for the people." Bilawal also said that his party believed in a prosperous grower that makes the country prosperous. "If Pakistan is an agricultural country then why the growers are forced to sleep hungry? Why he is not getting the return of his crops," he questioned. لائیو: چیئرمین پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی بلاول بھٹو زرداری کی قیادت میں عوامی مارچ لودھراں پہنچ گیا۔ https://t.co/x3ZKzCqnJZ — PPP (@MediaCellPPP) March 3, 2022
