Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said that the government forcibly passed the anti-people mini-budget in ‘the dark of night’.

Talking to the media along with former Prime Minister (PM) Yusuf Raza Gilani, Bilawal Bhutto said that they protested inside and outside the Parliament against the mini-budget. They were promised that tax will not be imposed on a few items, but that was false as well.

“The people of Pakistan are demanding that we take to the streets against this government and our CEC has decided that we will take to the streets on February 27,” added Bilawal.
