Chairman Bilawal’s Press Conference on Tuesday

 

Islamabad, 13 August 2019: Pakistan will have to send a clear message to Kashmiri people that every Pakistani is with them at this difficult time and Pakistan will have to send a message that we are ready to go to war if needed for the Kashmir cause.

Addressing a press conference with Senator Farhatullah Babar and Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar at Zardari House Islamabad, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the PTI government wants to divide the people of Pakistan by antagonizing the opposition. The government has started arresting the women of opposition.

Faryal Talpur was sent to Adiala Jail at midnight from the hospital bed where she was being treated and the doctors had advised to treat her in the Cardiology Hospital. The law is that no one can be sent to prison from hospital after 5pm but Faryal Talpur was forced to go to the prison at midnight. The government knew that I was in Kashmir to offer Eid prayers with Kashmiri brethren and my father President Zardari was in jail, Chairman Bilawal said. The government was also aware that the next morning was Eid and there would be no newspapers the next day. All this proves that the tyrannical PTI government does not want one voice for Kashmiri brethren.

Chairman PPP said that whenever he meets Kashmiri activists and journalists, they ask whether the Pakistani Prime Minister is also involved in conspiracy against Kashmiris. The joint session was summoned on the demand of the PPP and when we went to show solidarity with Kashmiri people, the government also sent its representative. It is unfortunate that Prime Minister Imran Khan did not go to Muzaffarabad despite the fact that AJK government had invited him to address the AJK Assembly.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the government has totally ruined the economy and price hike has made the lives of the people hell. However, on the Kashmir cause the people of Pakistan have the right to ask the government about its efforts for the cause and why is everything going in accordance with what Imran Khan said in an interview. Pakistan should expose Modi and his tyranny instead of targeting the opposition. The foreign journalists ask us about the difference between PTI and Modi governments because both are on the same page with regard to suppressing people. He said that Kashmiris still remember Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto who had fought for the Kashmiri cause and even today, PPP will continue to do so.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that he will visit Skardu and will talk about human rights violation in Pakistan as well as the attack on the media by PTI government. He said that PPP will not let incapable Prime Minister Imran Khan to harm Kashmir cause. He demanded of the government to take seriously the happenings in Kashmir and play its role for national harmony. Pakistanis will never forgive the PTI leadership and government if they do not support the Kashmiris who have the right to decide their own future. He said that the statement of foreign minister yesterday was unfortunate and Pakistanis and Kashmiris both are disappointed with his statement.

Answering a question, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that his family will file a petition against sending Faryal Talpur to prison. He said that President Zardari was not even allowed to offer Eid prayers despite requesting the officials.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that this government is taking action against all institutions which are raising their voice for Kashmiris like Amnesty International, New York Times and the BBC. On the floods in Karachi, he said that a propaganda campaign has been waged against Sindh government but it is also a fact that the rain this year was record-breaking and Karachi is below sea level unlike the sloped cities of Islamabad and Lahore. He appreciated efforts of Sindh government as well as the bureaucrats who sacrificed their Eid to clear the city of rain water.

Chairman Bilawal asks PM Imran to show leadership; PPP is standing with Kashmir Cause

Chairman Bilawal asks PM Imran to show leadership

PPP is standing with Kashmir Cause
Islamabad, 6 August 2019: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to rise to the occasion and provide leadership for the Kashmir cause instead of only one tweet and speech in the National Assembly.
Chairman Bilawal speaking in the National Assembly said that it is unfortunate that Speaker of the House was unable to complete the House as former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, PML-N leader Rana Sanaullah and two representatives from South and North Waziristan are absent even today. Similarly, the House was incomplete on the occasion when the budget was presented in the Parliament.
Addressing the Kashmir issues he said that India has been using cluster bombs on innocent Kashmiris, educational institutions are closed, every kind of communication has been cut off, extra Indian troops have been sent to Kashmir and all the known political leaders have been arrested. The revoking of article 370 of the Indian constitution is an attack on the ideology of India, UN and international laws, democracy and the right of self determination of Kashmiri people. This opens the door to make Kashmiris a minority in their own land. This will not be accepted by the Kashmiri people, we the Pakistanis and the people of India should also follow suit in rejecting this treacherous act.
Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto is renowned for fighting for the Kashmir cause as he had said that we share history, geography, religion, blood and culture with the Kashmiri people. We will not remain silent at the time when Kashmiri brothers and sisters are calling us for help. It is unfortunate that PM Imran Khan did not give any policy statement in the House and the foreign minister is not even in the country.
Chairman PPP said that Prime Minister Modi is an extremist ruler who is the butcher of Gujrat and now occupies the post of Indian Prime Minister. He asked that if Pakistan had ever elected an extremist Prime Minister like Modi then would have India welcomed it? India has become an occupying force in Kashmir. Modi’s mandate is a hate mandate, he has been inflicting harm on Kashmiri people for the last five years and it is ironic that our PM Imran Khan was hoping and praying for his re-election. Modi has arrested the entire Kashmir leadership because every Kashmiri considers India’s act as illegal and the former Chief Minister of Kashmir Mehbooba Mufti has said that the day India revoked article 370 is the darkest day of Indian democracy.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari asked Pakistani government to take drastic diplomatic actions and must engage United Nations and demand for a special session of OIC so that we can demonstrate that every Muslim country is united on Kashmir issue. He said that a commission should be constituted to investigate human rights violations in Kashmir. He also asked international community to take notice of Indian action.
Chairman PPP said Simla Agreement says that no side will take unilateral action. PPP hopes that Pakistani PM will put forward the case of Kashmir at all international forums but unfortunately, the government is just boasting the photo session of the US visit and is busy in crushing the Opposition. He said that we stand at the crossroads of history. The history will ask us where we were when Kashmiri youth were showered with pellet guns and bombed with cluster bombs.
We have only two options left now, Chairman Bilawal stated. Either to accept aggressive, treacherous and extremist Modi’s hegemony desert our Kashmiri brethren and live a life of humiliation or to rise to the occasion and reject Modi’s ideology. The latter is the honorable option, he said. Pakistan must act wisely as India has lost its credibility and legitimacy as a democratic state by revoking article 370. We have to speak as one voice, Pakistani voice. We must shun all our differences and unite for our Kashmiri brethren. We had a PM who had said that we will fight for ten thousand years for Kashmir cause, he concluded.

Censorship is a sign of fascist government- Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

Islamabad, 22 July 2019: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly condemned media censorship by the government of the rally of PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz and said that it is a proof that Imran Khan is a Selected Prime Minister and his government is a selected government.
In a statement Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the party which staged a sit-in in front of parliament for 126 days is not able to tolerate a single rally of opposition which proves that Imran Khan is unable to listen to any voice of dissent. PTI government censored the coverage Maryam Nawaz’s rally in Faisalabad. This is the worst form of fascism, he said.
PTI government is not tolerating opposition so it cannot be called a democratic government. Whenever opposition speaks in the parliament, the selected Prime Minister stops attending sessions of National Assembly. Production orders of opposition members are refused because this government and Prime Minister do not want to hear the truth about the callous government which has made the lives of people hell. Gagging orders are issued by the government for journalists who criticizes the government. When the government failed to crush the voice of opposition by arrests of opposition leader it started censor on media. This kind of censorship is only witnessed in dictatorships, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari concluded.

President Zardari does not have benami properties

Islamabad, 17 July 2019: Pakistan Peoples Party has denied the claim of the PTI government that President Asif Ali Zardari has benami properties.
Addressing a press conference Secretary Information PPP Senator Moula Bux Chandio along with Nazir Dhoki and Capt. (R) Wasif Syed said that he categorically denies that President Zardari has benami properties. He challenged the government that instead of holding press conferences should approach courts.
He said that opposition has the numbers and Chairman Senate will be from opposition. Government has miserably failed in all fronts and just to hide its failure is busy in blame game against PPP leadership. Government is doing injustices to provinces but the magic which has imposed this inept prime minister on Pakistani people is diminishing fast.
Senator Moula bux Chandio said that Prime Minister is going to stay in Pakistani embassy during his US visit in the garb of austerity but the fact is that he is wanted in US. Even a child knows why he is going to stay at the Pakistani embassy because he is wanted by US authorities. He said that President Zardari visited foreign countries and every trip and its expenses were legal. This government is a government of liars which only know to blame opposition and using abusive language. People are not fools and will speak up when the time comes. He said this government did not give any relief to people and people will rise against this government soon. The government has employed liars and all its spokespersons excel in lies.
The entire country and people from every profession will soon be on the roads on strike against this puppet government like the traders and businessmen recently closed down their businesses protesting against government policies. All corrupts are in the government and have filled all important positions. He said that prices increase when the petrol, electricity and gas prices and tariffs are increased. He said that the language of ministers and advisors are abusive and PPP can also respond in kind but our leaders have trained us to be decent all the time. He said that Imran Khan used to demand resignation of Railway minister after any accident but now even after over seventy accidents his Railway minister has not resigned. The movement against government will slowly gather momentum and then the government will have to go, he concluded.

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pays rich tribute to Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto on his 34th Yaum-e Shahadat

KARACHI. Jul 17: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has paid rich tribute to Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto on his 34th Yaum-e Shahadat.
In his message, the PPP Chairman said that due to leading role of Bhutto family in making democracy prevail in the country, Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto was martyred under a well-knitted plan. The forces of tyranny and authoritarianism were heavily frightened of Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto’s revolutionary approach and his accelerated popularity among the youth of the country.
He said that the martyrdom of Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto is a perfect case study for the new generation and generations to come to know about the designs and mindset of the forces of authoritarianism, which mercilessly silenced to death those who dare to speak for the people and their democratic rule over the country.
The PPP Chairman said that revolutionary approach of Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto based on the ideology of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto for democratic system only is being continued in full swing even today because the PPP is in the field fighting for peoples’ democratic country based on the teachings of equality and fraternity of the founder of Pakistan Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari appealed to the party designees and workers to offer prayers for the departed soul of Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto on the occasion of his 34th Yaum-e Shahadat.
