Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said the July 25 general election are being held in an “environment of fear”.
“The upcoming polls are being contested in an environment of fear,” the PPP chairman said while addressing the media in Quetta.
“The nation will defeat terrorists through the power of their vote on July 25,” he continued.
“We were told that terrorism has been eliminated but terror attacks are occurring before polls,” the Bhutto family scion upheld.
“I cannot comment on politics right now as I am here to extend condolences,” he further said.
“Security should be the top priority of the caretaker government,” Bilawal added.
He further said that elections were also held in Iraq and Afghanistan despite terrorist attacks.
Bilawal was in Quetta to extend condolences to the family of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) leader Nawab Siraj Raisani.
The PPP chairman met Raisani’s son, Jamal Raisani, at Sarawan House and extended condolences.
At least 149 were killed after a suicide bomber struck Raisani’s election meeting in Darenghar area of Mastung on July 14.
