Historic decisions being announced by courts: Bilawal

19 Dec, 2019

Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto said on Wednesday that historic decisions were being announced by courts in Pakistan and his political party was in full agreement with the process and the verdicts being issued by the judiciary for dissemination of justice.

"The entire country and the PPP will continue struggle for democracy. We seek justice in Benazir Bhutto's case as well," said Bilawal Bhutto. The PPP chairman was addressing the rally at Raiwind where he criticized the incumbent government.

He said no one is free in today's Pakistan, adding that the PPP has been protesting against 'selections' since long. He said FIRs are being used to 'silence' opposition parties, students and farmers.

"After every protest, an FIR is registered against us (PPP leaders) for chanting slogans," he said. "When students protest asking for the student union, then FIRs are registered against them too," he remarked. "If our farmers protest, then they are booked for terrorism. What type of freedom is this?"

He said the party will observe death anniversary of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto at Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi, on Dec 27. He reiterated that the source of power lies in supremacy of public wishes. Bilawal Bhutto said Imran Khan, who claimed to build million houses, is demolishing houses today.

Bilawal said that his father was kept in custody without tangible proofs. He said Asif Ali Zardari did not compromise his principals and got a bail in the ongoing proceedings for himself and his sister Faryal Talpur. Earlier, Bilawal Bhutto took jibe at government over Musharaf case.

He wondered as to who was running the "save your father" campaign now in an apparent reference to the PTI government's reaction on a Special Court verdict of awarding death sentence to Pervez Musharraf in high treason case.
