Karachi(The Palestine Information Centre)Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), expressed that the entire nation of Pakistan is unified in its support of the Palestinian cause.
He called on the caretaker government to take action in support of the Palestinian people, emphasizing that this issue concerns not only Pakistanis but also the people of Palestine.
Addressing a public gathering commemorating the 16th anniversary of the Karsaz tragedy, Bilawal conveyed his message to the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, stating, “You are not only our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, but you also have a responsibility towards Palestine.”
He assured that Pakistan’s solidarity with the Palestinian cause remains unwavering and that as long as Pakistan exists, it will not stand alone.
He recalled the historic support shown by Pakistan through the visits of former Prime Minister Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto to Palestine and Gaza, highlighting Pakistan’s stance alongside Palestine.
Bilawal also emphasized the need for timely general elections, asserting the importance of moving forward and restoring the status and dignity of the Parliament, which he believes has been hindered by the return of “one person,” alluding to Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
He stressed the importance of politics based on service rather than division and called for trust in the people’s right to choose their representatives according to their free will.
Bilawal commended the PPP’s services and projects that have benefited the people and debunked the notion that it is not a people-friendly party.
He highlighted the significance of projects like the Thar coal project, which has not only benefited the local population but the entire country.
He also credited former President Zardari for laying the foundations of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and emphasized that the vision for CPEC was his, not anyone else’s. Bilawal discussed the importance of addressing climate change and investing in underdeveloped regions to bring about a green revolution in Pakistan.
He reflected on Pakistan’s response to floods and the aid received, emphasizing the world’s support for the country when it was needed most.
