Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Thursday vowed to provide free medical treatment to the Punjab's population.
Addressing the workers' convention in Lahore, Bhutto-Zardari said: "The PPP is having no competition with any of the political parties. The real competition of the PPP is to overcome the challenges posed by unemployment."
The former foreign minister had vowed ownership rights to the Katchi Abadis in Punjab. "Now I will construct 3 million houses for the poor segment of society," he added.
He took a swipe at the political opponents, saying, "Is there any arrangement in Raiwand for free medical treatment? The opponents make tall claims about developing Punjab. We will develop a hospital in Raiwind."
Bhutto-Zardari resolved to double the salaries of the masses and provide 300 units of free electricity to the poor segment of society if voted into power.
He made it clear that the party does not believe in the politics of hatred and division.

Last month, Bhutto-Zardari had asserted that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif's tenures were "no less than the dictatorships" for his party.
Speaking to media in Lahore, the former foreign minister said: "The PPP will spring its surprise in Punjab if it [PPP] gets the level playing field. We will take everybody on board if we vote for power."
He praised the party workers, saying, "The PPP workers have always stood by the PPP during difficult times."
Bhutto-Zardari said: "The options for the political parties to reach dialogues are always on the cards."
