Bilawal in another tweet called PTI government 'fascist' for arresting democratic activists.

Fascist regime continues to arrest Democratic activists in Multan. These puppets are scared of jiyalas. Try as they might they cannot stop PPP from marking our foundation day along with PDM leaders on 30th November.
