Referring to a recent ruling of the Supreme Court in Sunni Ittehad Council’s (SIC) reserved seats case, Bilawal said “a verdict of the court, mobilised the ‘dead’ party”.

Addressing the opposition leader and PTI member Omar Ayub directly, Bilawal asked whether it was him or the prime minister that snatched PTI’s bat election symbol? “It was revoked by the court citing ‘rigging’ in the interparty election,” said Bilawal.

The PPP leader lamented that “politics of hatred” in on the rise in Pakistan, which is unprecedented in the history of the country. People are passing through the worst economic crisis, but we [politicians] are unable to provide them relief, he added.
