PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said on Saturday his party did not want to take the names of army generals at rallies, but Prime Minister Imran Khan “was forcing the opposition to do so”. Meanwhile, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, while addressing the PDM rally via video link from London, had accused the security establishment of being behind his ouster as prime minister and of “bringing Imran Khan into power”. In his remarks today, Bilawal said the opposition wanted to see national institutions, including the judiciary and the military bureaucracy, not to be accused of any wrongdoing on every issue. “It saddens me to see generals’ names being taken at rallies — whether those held by the prime minister or the opposition. The PPP chairperson said they wanted to see every institution doing its own job and the army “protecting the borders instead of polling stations”.
