ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Jun, 2018 ) :Expressing dismay and indignation over the current economic situation, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the country's economic situation is unstable, intolerable and unsustainable and PPP will introduce comprehensive reforms to rectify the faults.
Bilawal said short sighted quick fixes directed at the welfare of a tiny elite have compromised the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable, denying them economic justice and at the same time compromised Pakistan's economic sovereignty.
He said many measures of PPP had been subverted by PML-N government and the momentum for further reforms has been stalled. The institutions of accountability were subverted. Parliament was reduced to the position of a bystander as major crisis threaten the state and economy.
He said a secure home remains a distant dream for millions who lives in shanty towns without water or municipal services. education has been made increasingly expensive and of questionable quality.
PPP feels that it is responsibility of the government to protect its citizens not only from foreign aggression and internal violence but also from poverty, hunger, malnutrition, disease, unemployment and hazardous work and environmental conditions.
He said Pakistan is institutionally paralyzed due to discontinuation of democratic reforms introduced by PPP during its rule from 2008 to 2013. He said PPP had empower masses through democratic process, the fight for constitutional government, economic sovereignty, justice for hard working women and men, women's empowerment or social protections for the weak and vulnerable.
PPP introduced a number of revolutionary measures including 18th Constitutional Amendment, 7th National Finance Commission Award, the Gilgit Baltistan Empowerment Order and the initiation of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP).
Vowing second generation reforms, Bilawal said PPP would rebuild the country and reclaimed Pakistan's place in the world. PPP will free children from the fear of hunger, thirst and helplessness, open opportunities for all children, to secure rights and peace, to make government accountable, to reclaim Pakistan's rightful place in the world and ensuring open opportunities for people specially the youth. He said PPP reaffirms its commitment of protecting the vulnerable from hunger and food insecurity.
PPP after assuming power would establish Bhook Mitao Programme (Hunger Eradication Programme) to directly address the needs of the food insecure.
The public distribution system will provide access to the poor to wheat, pulses and eggs at subsidized prices, ensuring their freedom from hunger as well as their consumption of a relatively varied diet. Bhook Mitao Programm will stimulate the local production of pulses and eggs. The programme will be linked with reforms in the agricultural price support system proposed under the Zarai Inqilab Agricultural Renewal Strategy.
He said Rs 2,000 would be paid to beneficiaries of Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) besides introducing Benazir Kissan Cards for providing relief to the deserving.
