PPP Chairman raised concerns about international silence on Israeli brutalities against Palestinians

Talking to media, the former foreign minister also said that it was the People's Party's turn to win the next polls. It would have been better for the Election Commission to announce the election date on its own, without court interference, Bilawal said.
