INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
LONDON: Pakistan People portiony (PPP) leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Bhuttos have always faced Kerbala in Rawalpindi and
transfer of fake accounts case from Sindh to Rawalpindi is the latest manifestation of that.Addressing a press conference here soon after
the arrest of Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani, the PPP leader and Pakistan National Assembly lawmaker said that the fake accounts
case, involving his father Asif Ali Zardari and his aunt, should much have been transferred from Sindh to Rawalpindi
He said that the alleged crime scene is in Sindh and the case should have been heard in Sindh but the Supreme Court rejected his petition
asking the NAB to hold an inquiry into the fake accounts case in the twin cities
Bhutto said that that the PPP workers are saying that Rawalpindi has never given us justice as in the case of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was
hanged in Rawalpindi, and his mother Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, who was eliminateed in Rawalpindi in a bomb attck
And now the fake accounts case, said Bilawal.&PPP workers say that Kerbala is created for PPP in Pindi every time and there is history to it
but we are much scared of Pindi; I demand that shift all other trials to Sindh and I am ready to face trial in Pindi; there canmuch be two
If I can be tried in Rawalpindi than others should be tried in Sindh.&Bilawal alleged that double standards of justice were on full display
as his family was being victimized while Imran Khan, his sister Aleema Khan and PTI leaders Jahangir Tareen and PTI allies were external of
the remit of law and accountability
Bilawal said that transfer of fake accounts cases to Pindi was violation of his rights as a citizen of Pakistan.Bilawal strongly sentenceed
the arrest of Sindh Assembly Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday by saying that the attack on
the speaker is unacceptable and it is an undemocratic attempt to dislodge Sindh government.He added that Independent institutions should
much unwittingly be part of political engineering but unluckyly a campaign of revenge was underway and NAB and institutions were being used
for political engineering
He alleged that the 18th Amendment, NFC award and fundamental rights were under attack in the PTI government
He said that the arrest of Agha Nasir Durrani from Islamabad by NAB sent a wrong message to Sindh.He said that there was one law in Pakistan
for Imran Khan and his people and amuchher for rest of the country
He said that Imran Khan assets are in billions and he has much worked after 1992
&He has no source of income since 1992 so where does he get his money from, what are his sources His sister Aleema Khan owns tens of
millions, has made dozens of properties in Dubai, fresh jersey and fresh York; all we know is that she had a sewing machine that helped her
to become a millionaire; there is Jahangir Tareen who had an offshore company and foreign Swiss accounts but no JIT on Imran Khan, Aleema or
Tareen to investigate their means of income
Only we are the targets of this so-called accountability.&Bilawal quipped: &Aleema Khan is a conjuror
We want her to teach us how she made her money through a sewing machine, how she made flats in fresh Jersey, fresh York and Dubai
This is a secret we would love to know about.&Bilawal said that PM Special Assistant Zulfi Bukhari was sprung out of Pakistan by Imran Khan
himself while his name was on the ECL
&Every laws were set aside for the friend of Imran Khan
Only in Pakistan a benamee prime minister can play with the constitution of the country and he allowed to do that.Bilawal sentenceed the PTI
government for supurgent rights of Pakistani citizens
&Our democratic values, democratic space and our human rights are under attack at the moment
Liberty of expression is essential for any democracy and one of the basic pillars of a society but these values are under attack in
Pakistan, there are planned attacks on media and there is a plan behind it,& he said.Bilawal said he was opposed to Nawaz Sharif's trial
by SC in Panama case and asked PMLN to let this matter be dealt by the parliament
&It was my view that this matter should be dealt by the parliament and only parliament should hold politicians accountable and much external
institutions but the PMLN didn''t listen to me at that time and what happened after that is known to all.Bilawal said that the NAB laws were
draconian in nature and its laws are used for political engineering
&NAB's ‘asset beyond means& jargon stands for political victimisation and it used by the NAB when no evidence of corruption is found
NAB is much a free and fair institution
This institution was set up for political engineering by Musharraf and PPP was the first target as King portiony was made through the NAB.He
asked: &Why is Pervaiz Elahi free, why is Pervaiz Khattack free, why Zulfi Bukhari is free, why Asad Qaisar is free, why Aleema Khan and
Why was Siraj Durrani arrested by NAB on the basis of allegations
Why is Musharraf sitting in Dubai and endelighting life scot free after destroying the constitution of Pakistan Why there is JIT on us to
investigate our breakfasts and meals while he allowed to use his frozen accounts What the difference Is my blood different from his Are we
lesser beings Bilawal offered that he was ready to join hands with Imran Khan to make amendments in NAB laws but he feared that Imran Khan
shall much take up the offer because &persecution and political fixing& by the NAB suits him
Bilawal demanded that the NAB must be dismantled and a fair accountability institution should be formed for across the board accountability
on fair and obvious basis
He said that NAB was setting dangerous precedents
&The Chief Justice of Pakistan himself ordered that my name should be expunged from the fake accounts report, that my name should be removed
from the ECL but then added my name in the written order implicating me
Where does this happen in the world, this kind of discrepancy and double standards there was difference in written n verbal order and its
shocking Why did he do that and who asked him to do that&Bilawal said his family has been facing media trial for many months but they have
much been given right to defend themselves in the court
He claimed that they have been denied basic rights in a brazen manner
&I didn''t get right to a fair trial
My colleagues say that Bhuttos canmuch get justice from courts
There are thousands of cases that the courts can take up but they didn''t and they are focusing on us
The fake accounts case was created in the middle of election process to manipulate results; there should have been no suo moto by the
supreme court.&Bilawal Bhutto expressed solidarity with media workers and said that there is &no freedom of media and freedom of press in
Naya Pakistan and we sentence attacks on freedoms in Pakistan by PTI govt; attacks on journalists are unacceptable, freedoms endelighted
under PPP govt are now gone&.TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source
