Chairman of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari accused that the incumbent government is blackmailing National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to get control of the institution. Talking to press, Bilawal said PM Imran Khan is doing politics of blackmailing and PPP condemns this act. He said NAB Law is a black Law made by a dictator.
Bilawal expressed that the interview of chairman NAB is violation of court orders. He said the current wave of Inflation is due to government's incompetency. He said government has failed to collect tax revenue and people are facing the burden of government's negligences. PPP leader said government is heading with no direction on economic matters.
Bilawal added that the federal minister spread fear among public on HIV cases. He demanded such ministers be removed if PM believes in humanity. He said the names of people affected by HIV should not come on media. We have to fight against it with collective efforts, he added. Bilawal said HIV can be treated and there is a need to start awareness campaign against the disease. He said the authorities are working hard and we cannot leave affected people alone.
"HIV is not a death punishment, it can be treated," he said. "HIV patients are as much Pakistanis as we are," said Bilawal.
He said that there is a huge difference between HIV and aids. He added there was lack of awareness about HIV in Pakistan, adding that it could develop into aids within 10 years only if it is not treated. "Every one should be aware of HIV so that they can protect themselves against disease," he said. He dismissed the impression that Larkana and Rato Dero were facing an HIV plague.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said he has directed the Sindh government to establish an endowment fund for treatment of HIV patients. He said patients would be provided with the facility of treatment for rest of their lives. He said while the disease can be treated and people need to understand that they would not contract the illness by merely touching the HIV patients.
