KOHAT: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said the government is losing a foothold as lawmakers of the ruling party have been contacting the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) for voting in the upcoming Senate elections.
Speaking at a public meeting at Babri Banda football ground on Saturday, the opposition party’s chairman said the government that seldom contacted its lawmakers in the past couple of years had started contacting them as well as its allies to get their support for the Senate elections. But it was too late for the government, he believed, adding that it was right time for the lawmakers to decide whether they were with the people or with the ‘comedian’ and ‘corrupt to the core’ government.
