Karachi, October 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that eradicating the polio virus from the country is a challenge for the entire nation. We must eliminate this disease that cripples children for life. According to a statement issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House, the Chairman PPP said in his message on World Polio Day that every Pakistani should have the courage and determination to make the country polio free. Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari further said that a polio free Pakistan was the dream of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, and she did all that was in her power to make this dream a reality by starting an anti-polio campaign during her 1994 government.
He stated that during this campaign, the first Pakistani child who was given the polio vaccine by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto was none other than her own daughter and my sister Aseefa Bhutto Zardari. He further said that it is our duty to eradicate polio from the country. The Foreign Minister thanked the donor organizations and countries for their support in the fight against polio and said that Pakistan will never forget their goodwill.
Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari paid tribute to the polio workers who were targeted by terrorists during the decades-long anti-polio campaign. “Those who laid down their lives in the struggle to establish a healthy society are the heroes of the nation. They will live forever in our hearts,” he said.
