‘Democratic conspiracy’
Speaking to journalists in London, Bilawal said Imran Khan was issuing the narrative on why his government was not rescued. He said the coalition government will work towards the restoration of democracy.
“There was no foreign conspiracy against Imran Khan, it was a democratic conspiracy. It was not White House. it was the Bilawal House,” he said.
He claimed that Nawaz’s sacrifices for democracy were evident before everyone. He said that he came to meet the former prime minister as only when everyone is on the same page, can they resolve Pakistan’s issues.
He said the PML-N and PPP will solve Pakistan’s issues once they are on the same page, and all institutions should remain within their constitutional parameters.
