Firebrand PTM chairman Manzoor Pashteen also took aim at the Pakistan Army and said that democracy does not exist in the country but a monarchy and the army chief becomes the King who issues all orders.

During Bilawal’s speech, several people from the audience stood up and chanted slogans to demand the release of the incarcerated Member of the National Assembly (MNA) from South Waziristan and co-founder of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM).
When his speech was interrupted several times, Bilawal asked the protestors to demand his release from those who have the power to release him. He said, “You should go and protest in front of those who have the power to release him [MNA Ali Wazir].”
