Islamabad: Secretary General Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians, Syed Nayyer Hussain Bukhari, has stated that national interest must remain the foremost priority, urging all stakeholders to abandon the politics of confrontation and resolve issues through dialogue.
According to Pakistan Peoples Party, Bukhari emphasized the political vision of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, which centers on a strong state, stable democracy, and secure Pakistan. The Pakistan Peoples Party remains committed to national reconciliation and democratic stability despite political differences. Chairman PPP has consistently advocated addressing political challenges through democratic processes and meaningful dialogue.
Highlighting the connection between national security and democratic mandate, Bukhari stated that a strong state and democracy are inseparable. He asserted that resolving national issues requires political engagement and national consensus rather than conflict. The Peoples Party will continue to support dialogue, reconciliation, and a collective effort against terrorism in the national interest.
Reiterating the party's position, Bukhari declared terrorism as a red line for the Pakistan Peoples Party, with no compromise on national security. He emphasized the importance of honoring the sacrifices of civilians and security personnel lost in the fight against terrorism. He stressed the need for prioritizing peace, security, and freedom from terrorism for the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, highlighting the consequences of previous decisions to release terrorists.
Addressing the issue of Governor's Rule, Bukhari noted that the Peoples Party opted to uphold democratic traditions and political reconciliation. He stated that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his team pursued dialogue based on the Pakistan Peoples Party's advice. Bukhari concluded by asserting that Pakistan requires national unity and a collective strategy, urging all political forces to unite against terrorism, making the need for Governor's Rule redundant once national consensus is achieved.
