Bilawal takes jibe at govt over Ghotki train accident

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - Taking jibe at the government over the Ghotki train accident, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said that the government do political point-scoring even when an incident like these happen.

Addressing the floor of the NA, the PPP chairman said that train accident is a serious matter. "I asked to set aside today for this issue then sometimes the federal minister stands up and sometimes Narowal's 'paper leader' stands up," he added.

Bilawal Bhutto lamented that a poor person's life is not safe during travel via the railways. "I want to convey a message to the victims of the crash: We stand with you and demand answers from the authorities."

The PPP chairman questioned why railway accidents were occurring repeatedly during this government's tenure, adding they had not answered the questions raised in this regard.

On the other hand, PML-N staged a walkout after Bilawal criticised the party and the speaker did not let former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal take over the floor.
