Talking to reporters in Rawalpindi after seeing his father Asif Ali Zardari, who is in Adiala Jail, on Monday Bilawal said it is the high time to send the puppet rulers and incompetent government home.
Few days back, Bilawal Bhutto affirmed that PPP and JUI-F are on same page and want want to send the current PTI government back home but the tactics and strategies would be different for this very purpose.
However, PML-N sides JUI-F to launch the Azadi March in order to dispose off the government.
A day earlier, PML-N leader Ahsan Iqbal had requested Jamiat Ulema-e Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman to postpone the Azadi March to Islamabad to November citing time required for preparation.
Speaking to the media, Iqbal said that JUI- F has been preparing for eight months but PML- N would be requiring some more time to mobilize its party workers.
Noting that the PML-N had already promised to support the Azadi March earlier, the party leader maintained that in order to have the party workers come out in full force, it was necessary for the Azadi March to be deferred to November.
Iqbal requested that an All Parties Conference (APC) be called to set the action plan for the JUI March or the Azadi March. He further added that the PML-N would reach out to Fazl and his party in this regard, he added.
