Bilawal too young to understand politics: Imran Khan

BADIN: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday said Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto was too young to understand politics, and referred to him as 'baby' Bilawal during a public address in Matli.

Speaking at a gathering, Imran Khan said Bilawal is unable to understand that the time for dynastic politics has gone.

"You can no longer place your grandfather's and mother's picture at your back to call yourself a leader," said Imran.

The PTI chief questioned what the PPP had done to bring Sindh at par with other provinces despite having ruled for 30 years.

"Now is the time for change. I want all of you and my candidates to destroy fear and vote for change."

Imran Khan also accused powerful political parties of promoting sectarianism and hatred against minorities.

"They used these divisive strategies to achieve their political ends," said the PTI chief.

Promising the people of the area a bright future, the PTI chief asked the audience whether PPP leaders will prefer getting medical care at a hospital in Malti or send their children to schools in the town.

Imran Khan arrived in Karachi Thursday ahead of the second phase of local government elections in Sindh and paid visits to Tando Allah Yar, Tando Jam and also attended a Diwali function at Umerkot district.
