In his address on 9th death anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal said that the mindset that Benazir had fought against all her life is still there and needed to be eradicated.
Terrorism has not been completely tackled, he said.
Bilawal announced to address rallies and lead protests across the country to get PPP’s four demands fulfilled by the government. He said that after Benazir’s assassination, the country was vulnerable to division but Asif Ali Zardari saved the state and the political party.
He said that he wishes to organise the political party in a fresh way. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has failed on almost every front, he claimed adding that he could not maintain silence over threats to national interests.
Bilawal asserted that the Interior Minister was threatening institutions instead of tendering his resignation after a report held the ministry responsible in Quetta’s Civil Hospital attack. Interior Minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan holds meetings with leaders of banned organisations and permits them to lead rallies, Bilawal alleged.
The government is protecting terrorists instead of the people of the country, he said adding that the premier would flee the country while the people would be left here to suffer.
He alleged the premier of favouring his terms when the world are making efforts to brand Pakistan a terrorist state. Chairman of PPP warned the government of protests if approval of accountability bill is hindered.
He announced to move to Supreme Court (SC) once the accountability bill is approved.
PPP is desirous of democratic accountability but the premier does not agree to the cause, Bilawal said. He said that history of judiciary in Pakistan is the scariest however, all the institutions would have to shoulder their responsibilities.
Bilawal rhetorically asked why legal case regarding founder of PPP, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s judicial killing has not been concluded till today.
Chief of PPP complained that the judicial system of Pakistan never provided justice to PPP but now it was time see whether Supreme Court (SC) would focus on interests of the country or not. Bilawal said that he would not keep silence when premier’s policies were allegedly leading Pakistan to isolation in the world.
Bilawal vowed to fight for the rights of the people and serve the nation as his introduction to parliamentary politics was announced today by former president and co-chairman of PPP, Asif Ali Zardari.
