KARACHI: PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has criticised PTI founder Imran Khan and his narrative, attributing the rising disillusionment among the nation\u2019s youth to the ex-premier\u2019s actions, which he claims have \u201cdestroyed everything for personal gain\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, the PPP chairman defended the role of the country\u2019s institutions, including the military, in upholding democracy, ensuring rule of law and providing a secure environment essential for economic development.<\/p>\n
However, he added, every institution needed to play its role within the defined constitutional domain.<\/p>\n
In response to a question, he highlighted the need to reconsider the assumption that PTI chairman\u2019s imprisonment was hindering the country\u2019s growth. \u201cI believe we need to reassess the presumption that the economic growth and development of Pakistan are tied to Khan sahib\u2019s imprisonment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
PPP chief concerned by Pakistan\u2019s lack of preparedness for digital age<\/p>\n
\u201cIf today\u2019s politics are blamed for disillusioning Pakistan\u2019s youth, Khan sahib\u2019s role has been central to this issue. While generations have worked to establish consensus, norms, and democracy, Khan sahib has dismantled much of it for his personal gains.\u201d<\/p>\n
Consensus to tackle emerging challenges<\/p>\n
The PPP chairman emphasised the importance of building a national consensus to address emerging challenges, including security threats, economic development, and the growing influence of digital technology across all aspects of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe we are not yet prepared for the digital age, nor are we adequately equipping our children and youth for this transformation,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is crucial that we prepare both our youth and our economy for the demands of the modern era. We have overcome challenges in the past, including successfully tackling terrorism, and now we must unite to face new obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also highlighted the urgent need for technological advancement and digital transformation, expre\u00adssing concern that Pa\u00adk\u00adistan is failing to sufficiently prepare its youth to thrive in the IT and digital age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
