Call for collective legislative strength

Bilawal stated that a strong legislature is essential for empowering the people of Pakistan. He told political leaders to move beyond point-scoring and accusations to ensure Parliament plays its constitutional role effectively.

Criticism of current boycott tactics

The PPP chairman said the opposition decision to stay away from committees has weakened Parliament. He noted that this absence deprived constituents of representation in important forums like the Finance Committee.

Request to opposition leader Achakzai

Bilawal asked Leader of the Opposition Mehmood Khan Achakzai to use authority delegated by Imran Khan. He directed opposition members, particularly those from PTI, to return to key parliamentary committees immediately.
