After blasting old-timers, Baby Bhutto says old politics Pakistan's worst enemy
2023-11-18
[GEO.TV] As parties go into electioneering mode, Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari lamented on traditional politics terming it as the country's worst enemy and stressed the need to embark on "new politics", Geo News reported Friday.

Speaking at a workers' convention in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Mardan, Bilawal termed traditional politics as Pakistain's worst enemy and said: "We need to [embark] on a new political [direction and strategy] which will allow us to overcome the issues faced by the country."

He added: "Veteran politicians neither think about the present nor the future [as] they are still stuck in the past. We want to leave behind the politics of division, hate and abuse which [as part of] the traditional politics has been going on for the [past] 70 years."

While talking about modern-day politics and its benefits, the PPP leader said: "We have to become the voice of the 'new politics' [...] We think about the present and future and not what's in the past."

"Politicians who joined the "Mehangai league" [inflation party] will not remain electable anymore [due to their decision]," Bilawal said while referring to former ally Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz supremo Nawaz Sharif
