Murderers now want to eliminate us: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

KARACHI: Patron In Chief, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Tuesday said he is presently assisting his elders in his party’s poll campaign but not leading it and vowed to lead it in future like his grand father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and mother Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.

Addressing the party workers via a video message, Bilawal said: The time has brought us at the same point from where we had started our journey; once again the enemies of peace and prosperity are standing in front of us.”

He said these enemies belong to a specific mindset against which PPP has waged a war for the past five years and continues to fight it till today.

“I wanted to contest polls living amongst you; I wanted to launch the election campaign in the streets of my country alongside my workers. I know that the Janisars of BB Shaheed are waiting anxiously for me, but we are at war against this mindset,” he said.

He said the murderers of Quaid-e-Awam and BB Shaheed now want to eliminate ‘us’ as well.

“I don’t care for my life, the world knows that the PPP has laid lives for democracy and Inshallah, one day I will also lead the election campaign of PPP like Shaheed Bhutto and Shaheed BB. Until that time I am assisting my elders in the campaign but not leading it.”

Bilawal said today, hindrances were being created in his party’s way because ‘we don't have any friends sitting in higher institutions who can also gives us stay orders like others.’

“Today, we are being attacked; corpses are being taken from our houses because we are not Zia’s remnants whose houses are being protected and with whom deals are being signed,” he said.

Pointing his guns to Pakistan Muslim League-N, he asked, ‘where are those people who claim to have given rivers of milk and honey to the Punjab? Can't they see the people of South Punjab who are facing many hardships due to the non-provision of basic facilities and have to walk several miles just to get clean water?’

He said the people are dying of hunger and poverty and ‘you are doing the politics on sasti rotti scheme’.

“You had time to do politics on a metro bus scheme worth 70 billion but forgot the poor people of the Punjab. You ended up establishing Danish Schools instead of providing education to the youth of Pakistan. You don’t care for the masses, you don't know what the public wants. You don’t know what is poverty and labor.”
He said if ‘you’ want to see service to humanity, go see the Benazir Income Support Program, which he claimed has provided the rights to the women of Pakistan. “Dramatization of issues is not service to the people,” he added.

Bilawal termed PPP as the party of the people of Pakistan. “We are with our people and the PPP will never leave them alone, it was the promise of Shaheed Bhutto, Shaheed BB and now it is also my promise.”

He expressed the faith that the people of Sindh will vote for the PPP, adding the PPP led government has given the largest amount of development projects in the history of Sindh.

Bilawal chanted “Na Peer Ka, Na Meer Ka, Vote srif Teer Ka, Vote Benazir Ka”.

“South Punjab is also the base of the PPP and will remain so forever, he said, adding ‘we have raised our voice for the rights of people of Multan and Bahawalpur.”

He said if the ‘Takht-e-Lahore’ had not created hindrances in PPP’s way, it would have fulfilled the dream of people of South Punjab.

Bilawal claimed that central Punjab is also a strong hold of PPP jialas (workers.

“And remember that Peshawar, Quetta and Lahore are also dear to me like Larkana. InshAllah, we will make Lahore and Peshawar the fortes of the PPP,” the PPP Patron In Chief asserted.
