Pakistan - #PPP to restore state’s writ, will not let the society move towards extremism: Bilawal

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari vowed on Tuesday that his party would restore the state’s writ, adding that the way it was eroded in the recent events seemed alarming.

The PPP chairperson addressed the party workers gathered at the capital’s Parade ground to celebrate the party’s golden jubilee today.

Islam rejects the notion of extremism, said Bilawal, adding that the PPP will not let the society move towards extremism.

He said that it is the third generation of the PPP which is carrying on the legacy for the sake of democracy.

“I congratulate those who have laid the basis of the PPP and stood against the dictatorship,” said Bilawal.

Bilawal said that it was his party and late Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who laid the foundation of democracy in Pakistan and revolted against dictatorship.

Under the umbrella of dictatorship, the so-called economic progress led to ethnic divides. The resources were only limited to feudal lords and a particular section of the society.

“Benazir raised her voice against terrorists,” said Bilawal, adding that the late prime minister always stood against martial law and ended Martial Law Regulation.

PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto earlier reached Islamabad’s Parade Ground, along with the party co-chair and former president Asif Ali Zardari.
