Larkana: Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday urged the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to renounce political extremism and rejoin democratic politics, warning that attacks on state institutions over leaders' arrests invite consequences.

"You attacked our state institutions just because of a meagre NAB case against your leader [PTI founder Imran Khan], then don't complain,' Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said while speaking to the media in Larkana.

"Do away with political extremism and return to the democratic fold. This will be better not only for their party but their workers as well,' he added.

Bilawal Bhutto said political parties must find political solutions for the survival of democracy, adding that if a party resorts to extremist politics, it should not complain about a strict response.

Bilawal said it was 'written on the wall' that elections were not happening anytime soon, stressing that electoral reforms were necessary before new polls. 'We should try to bring such electoral reforms that everyone can trust,' he added.

He also said that, given the prevailing circumstances, President Asif Ali Zardari would have to play a role in bringing all political parties to a single point. Bilawal dismissed reports about a 28th constitutional amendment, saying such discussions were limited to the media.

Commenting on the economy, the PPP chairman said the country's real economic condition could be judged by asking ordinary citizens about their financial situation. 'If the federal government wants to tackle the economic crisis, it should consider public-private partnerships,' he said.
