Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Friday slammed the PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government for practising “extremist politics” and ignoring its core responsibility of serving the people.
The ex-foreign minister’s remarks came a day after the former ruling party boycotted the all-parties conference (APC), summoned by KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi over recent tribal clashes that claimed at least 133 lives and injured 186 others.
The Imran Khan-founded party was of the view: “The PPP has no mandate in KP […] it wants to hold a lifeless exhibitory meeting to portray itself as a democratic party.”
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Bilawal hailed PPP-backed Governor Kundi’s initiative aimed at “creating political consensus” and addressing difficulties faced by the people of KP.
“Dialogue between political forces is the most effective means to not only address political, economic and security challenges but forge the political consensus and stability required to achieve results.”
