PESHAWAR (Dunya News) - Pakistan Peoples Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Saturday emphasised his opposition to inflation and poverty rather than any political party during a workers' convention in Peshawar.
He highlighted the party's public communication campaign and announced upcoming conventions in Dir, Chitral and Nowshera. Bilawal Bhutto emphasised the strength of PPP workers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, stating that they adhere to principles despite challenges.
Reflecting on Benazir Bhutto's legacy, Bilawal stressed the importance of leadership that addresses the basic needs of the people. He criticised political opponents, asserting that the PPP aims to save people from inflation.
He said that his grandfather - the late Bhutto - and his mother - the late Benazir - faced dictators in their political lives. He also pledged to materialise the party motto of 'bread, cloth and shelter' for the needy.
