In a very inspiring speech‚ Chairman of the PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called upon all political parties to get united to fight terrorism for the sake of safe and secure future of the country. He pointed out that ANP has suffered from terrorism like PPP and despite our past differences with the MQM‚ we have been willing to put these difference aside and unite against this common enemy. He said we have to protect Jinnah's Pakistan from the threat of the Taliban. He said PML(N) has been part of our coalition before and it was partly because of the support from the party that we built the necessary consensus in the country that allowed us to end Taliban rule in Swat and raise the flag of pakistan there once again. Bilawal said he was certain Nawaz Sharif is genuinely an ally in supporting democracy in the country. He welcomed Imran Khans decision to finally take part in the next general election. He expressed the confidence that his inclusion will have a positive impact of politics of the country. Bilawal said he was even certain we can build consensus with the religious parties including Jamat-e-Islami. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari categorically stated that we are opposed to drone strikes. He pointed out that had these been carried out with the connivance of the Government then the then Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi‚ who is currently in PTI‚ should have resigned on the same issue. He said after the Osama raid‚ the PPP and the President of Pakistan were one of the few political parties to stand by our generals and our soldiers. Even Nawaz Sharif was calling for our military and intelligence leadership to be sacked. President Zardari was defending our military leadership and defending Pakistan. He said the President Zardari stood by the armed forces of Pakistan and lived up to his title of commander in chief. Now even the Americans accept that Pakistan did not know that Osama was in Abbottabad. Bilawal said it was the PPP Government that made the super power apologizes after the Salala incident.
