In a presser after his father’s arrest, Bilawal said that the current situation is even worse than dictatorial regimes. He asked the PPP workers to remain calm and reaffirmed his faith in the judicial process.
In a rather surprise move, he demanded immediate resignation from the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of National Assembly. He had already expressed his contentions when two MNA`s of PTM was arrested earlier. Regarding the National Assembly session for today, he expressed his severe disregard for not being allowed to speak for the second time.
"I condemn the attitude of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan and I demand that both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker to resign, they are not part and are acting as an extension of the government," said Bilawal while addressing reporters.
"When the former interior minister passes a chit to the Deputy Speaker, he acts accordingly" Bilawal added
He quoted a series of events starting right from Agha Siraj Durrani`s arrest. He maintained his stance of how the PPP was not granted the right to a fair trial in the past and the present scenario looks somewhat similar.
Bilawal`s sister Aseefa took to twitter expressing support for his father.
