Bilawal vows to make Kashmir 'valley of Benazir'

MUZAFFARABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Saturday promised the people of Azad Kashmir to make the Kashmir the 'Waadi e Benazir' if they voted the PPP to power in the forthcoming election.

In his address with a rally in Muzaffarabad, the PPP chairman urged the masses to vote for his party for the sake of a prosperous Kashmir.

He said that his party has a clear stance on terrorism, adding, "We are against all terrorists be it Modi or TTP".

"This is the height of brutality that lethal pellets being fired on children in Kashmir, but the premier has turned a blind eye to it," he slammed.

"The prime minister is also silent over Indian atrocities against women in occupied territory," he added questioning how many times the government has raised the issue on world forums in three years.

"Had PPP not raised voice against Indian atrocities in Kashmir, PM Nawaz would not even express solidarity with Kashmiris," asserted Bilawal.

He lambasted Finance Minister Ishaq Dar describing him as personal accountant of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The PPP chairman noted that the finance minister himself accepted that his government failed to meet economic targets in three years.

"The economic policies of PML-N are aimed to benefit the rich, not the poor," he said. "Under this government, the rich is getting richer and the poor poorer."

He went on to say that all human development projects BISP, Waseela Haq, CPEC, Gwadar, Iran Pakistan Gas Pipeline were introduced by the PPP.

In Kashmir as well, the party introduced some of the biggest projects in history, he added.
