On the occasion of 62nd birth anniversary of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto on Saturday, I wish to extend heartfelt felicitations to the workers of the Pakistan Peoples' Party indeed to all the democracy-loving people of Pakistan. I wish to especially felicitate the women and the marginalized sections of the society for whom Shaheed Benazir Bhutto had devoted her life.
This anniversary of our great leader is being commemorated at a time when the nation has achieved major successes against militancy, thanks due to the unity of political forces and state agencies, an achievement that had eluded us for long. The Party recalls with pride that Shaheed Bibi led from the front the fight against militancy even laying down her life in this epic struggle.
Fight against militancy is a collective fight of the whole nation. It can be fought successfully only when it is fought collectively with each segment performing its assigned duties. As for the PPP we are committed to exterminating the militant ideology that is posing existential threat to the country.
This birth anniversary of our leader is also an occasion to reiterate our pledge to defeat the militant mindset and uphold the ideals of democracy, pluralism and rule of law for which Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto stood for and struggled throughout her life. Let us reiterate our resolve once again that we will not let the militants dictate their political agenda through force. Pakistan will have to be a moderate and pluralistic country where the ultimate choice is made by ballot and not bullet.-PR
