KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday said that we have to fight for the rule of the people, true democracy and supremacy of the Constitution in the country.
Addressing the second power show of the 11-party opposition alliance PDM in Karachi on Sunday, he said that all the democratic powers of Pakistan have to fight this war, adding that the institutions that can safeguard the rights of people are being hollowed out one by one.
The PPP chairman said that the guarantee of freedom to live with dignity is the democratic system, adding pressure on the judiciary, ban on the media and speaking in parliament are not allowed. All those democratic voices that speak out against the government s fascist regime are being muzzled under this selected prime minister [Imran Khan], he said.
