.(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Jun, 2018) :Bilawal Bhutto alleged the country's economic situation was unstable, intolerable and unsustainable and claimed PPP would introduce reforms to rectify the faults.

He claimed short sighted quick fixes aimed at the welfare of a tiny elite had compromised the lives of the poor and most vulnerable, denying them economic justice and at the same time it compromised country's economic sovereignty.

He claimed many measures of PPP had been subverted by PML-N government and the momentum for further reforms had been stalled. The institutions of accountability were subverted, he added.

Bilawal said a secure home remained a distant dream for millions, who lived in shanty towns without water or municipal services. education had been made increasingly expensive and of questionable quality, he added.

PPP, he said, felt that it was 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 claimed Pakistan was institutionally paralysed due to discontinuation of democratic reforms introduced by the PPP during its previous era.

He said PPP had empowered the masses through the 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.

The PPP, he claimed, 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 reclaim Pakistan's place in the world. The PPP would free children from the fear of hunger, thirst and helplessness, to open opportunities for all the 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 youth, he claimed.

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 insecurity.
