Islamabad, June 28, 2021 (PPI-OT): Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, responding to a question about Imran Khan’s close friend visiting Israel said that the media should investigate why an airplane in November went to Israel from Pakistan and stayed there for ten hours. We are demanding that if this airplane took off from another country, it should also be investigated. Chairman Bilawal said the news outlets there reported that Imran Khan’s close friend and special assistant was the one aboard the airplane, for whom Imran Khan had arranged for an NRO during the elections.

This information should come before the nation now. We have concerns regarding what is done in the darkness of the night. If an airplane did not pick up Zulfi Bukhari then who did it pick up? We have a very strong relation with Palestine and the decision about Palestine will be taken by Palestinian. When asked about the situation in the Sindh assembly, Chairman Bilawal said that just like there are non-serious people in Islamabad, they are also there in the Sindh assembly, who still think that they are on containers.

The opposition members in the Sindh assembly should be asked why they not moved a single cut motion during the budget debate. You must have seen the seriousness of the PPP members in the National assembly who presented cut motions. We hope that the speaker Sindh assembly maintains the dignity there. Such actions should have not been done in the assembly where the Pakistan resolution was passed. I hope that the speaker will take serious action against everyone who is involved in such matters.

Regarding lending airbases to United States, he said that we do not take Imran Khan’s statements seriously because he has taken a U-turn on every stance since coming into politics. We will be briefed about the issue in a meeting of national security committee tomorrow. About the Gujjar nullah issue, he said that we respect the decisions of the Supreme Court in regards to the population living there. This is a humanitarian disaster because it affects 96000 people, you are forcibly displacing these people during a pandemic without resettling them or providing them with shelter, only with a negligible amount as compensation.

The United Nations in turn has alarmed us that this is a grave breach of human rights. We also want the Gujjar nullah to be clean and there are other nullahs that should be paid attention as well. No one lives on a nullah happily, these people are there out of sheer need. If we want the nullah to be cleared, this is surely possible but it needs to follow a proper procedure and the right timeframe, during which we can ensure that the people can be provided with houses.

Unfortunately, this is not happening, after the UN report had come, I had called upon the Sindh government and the Sindh cabinet to take notice of the United Nations’ human rights appeal for the people living in Gujjar nullah Karachi. The cabinet and parliament should also discuss this and we should approach the court for it to review its decision. We respect the court and do not wish to contempt it, but we are appealing to it to not forcibly displace Karachi’s poor population. The people being displaced are those with electricity and gas connections, they shouldn’t have to provide a justification for their rights and houses to not be taken away.

Responding to a question about the Kashmir election campaign, Chairman Bilawal said that he is grateful to the population of Gilgit Baltistan who despite the obvious rigging and intervention, voted for and supported PPP. Everyone saw how that seat was snatched from us, but despite that PPP is a democratic party and does not leave space for anyone to carry on with their anti-democratic practices which we know they do.

However, PPP will not leave any space for this to take place freely, we know that the state is using its resources but PPP will still run its campaign democratically and if the ones in government are trying to win with their power, influence, and money, we have Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s Peoples Party and we know that the people of Kashmir will support us. In a Twitter message, Chairman Bilawal said that he had demanded on the floor of the house that the Parliament be briefed on the Afghanistan situation by the relevant departments and institutions. We welcome Speaker’s decision and will participate in NSC committee meeting on the topic.

Kotli, June 26, 2021 (PPI-OT):Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in connection with the party’s election campaign addressed a mammoth public gathering at Kotli Azad Kashmir. Former Prime Minister Raja Parvez Ashraf, Qamar Zaman Kaira and candidates of Kotli Division were also present on the occasion.

 

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari addressing the public gathering said that the Pakistan Peoples Party was formed on the issue of Kashmir that journey is still continued. We learnt from Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto that if need be we will fight for a thousand year for Kashmir. We learnt from Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto that we will shed our blood where Kashmiri’s shed their sweat. The people who use to say that PPP is finished they should come here and see the fervour and zeal of the people of Kotli.

 

The PPP is still the most vibrant force from Karachi to Kashmir. The PPP’s policy about Kashmir is that the people of Kashmir will decide their own future. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s slogan was that self-determination of Kashmiris’ is the only slogan for Kashmiris. Qaud-e-Awam used to say that he cannot err on Kashmir even in his sleep but whenever this puppet selected Prime Minister talks about Kashmir in the Parliament, he always commit a mistake.

 

When Modi had attacked Occupied Kashmir the coward Imran had said, “What can I do?” The people of Occupied Kashmir are fighting against the tyranny of Modi and the people of Azad Kashmir are fighting against the economic crises created by this incapable Prime Minister Imran Khan. This government is trying to impose taxes on your energy projects. This government engulfed people in extreme difficulties. Neither Afghanistan nor India or Bangladesh have the inflation as much we have. The change Imran Khan has brought is poverty, inflation and unemployment.

 

He asked the charge crowd that they have to campaign door to door and tell the people that they want to impose on the people a puppet Prime Minister. We want to Prime Minister in Kashmir who leads from the front and for this, you have the elect the PPP candidates from entire Kashmir. So that we can form a government which can respond not only to Modi what also this puppet. Imran Khan is trying to rig this election in Kashmir because he himself is a production of rigged the elections.

 

PPP has done a lot for the common people. If a poor grower owns a piece of land, the PPP has given him that land. The PPP gave BISP program for poor women. Whatever projects will be carried out in Kashmir, the PPP will be behind it. Coming to Kotli whichever bridge or road he passed by was the project of the PPP. Chaudhry Yasin inaugurated 19 colleges in his constituency and the PPP founded 14 colleges in Kotli.

 

Chairman Bilawal asked people not to believe the false promises by the puppet government. The PPP is the only party which has served the people and has solved the problems faced by the people. Chairman PPP said that we have a combination of experienced and young candidates and this combination will solve the problems of Kashmir people.

 

The PPP will solve the water problem in Kotli. It will also build a ring road. The PPP will also give an airport to the people of Kotli. We have to give a 100 bed hospital to Kotli. We will have to look after the people of the Kashmir because we cannot leave them on the mercy of Imran Khan. The PPP increased salaries, pensions for governments’ servants as well as our valiant soldiers. The PPP when comes to power will do one job on priority basis and that is to increase the salaries of the employees.

 

Imran Khan had promised to provide 10 million jobs and five million houses but he made thousands of people unemployed and snatched thousands of houses from the poor people. Chairman Bilawal asked people to elect PPP candidates from the whole Kotli Division. He appeal to the people to vote for Waleed Inqalabi from LA-13, Sardar Muhammad Bashir from LA-11, Javed from LA-9, Muhammad Aftab Anjum from LA-8 and Chaudhry Muhammad Yasin from LA-10 and 12.

 

Earlier the PPP Chairman paid a visit to Dargah Gulhar Sharif where he visited Mazar’s of Qazi Fateh Muhammad and Pir Muhammad Sadiq. He also met the administrator of the Dargah Qazi Muhammad Rafique and expressed his good wishes for Sahibzada Zahid Sultani. He also prayed for liberation of Kashmir and stability of Pakistan at the Dargah.

Islamabad, June 25, 2021 (PPI-OT):Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was greeted by a rousing reception when he arrived at Dhan Gali to lead a rally in connection with the beginning of the Party election campaign of Azad Kashmir elections. Qamar Zaman Kaira accompanied the Chairman PPP. Thousands of party workers raised slogans on his arrival and showered rose petals on his motorcade.

 

Thousands of workers received their Chairman with traditional zeal and fervour at Dhadial raising Jeay Bhutto and other party slogans. Addressing PPP workers Chairman Bilawal said that today we are with our Kashmiri brethren with who we have shared relations from three generations. Kashmiri people supported Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. They also supported Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. We have struggled against dictatorships together and history is a witness to that. You had supported President Zardari and Qamar Zaman Kaira was your minister for Kashmir affairs. You supported peoples Party in difficult times as well. The development work which was carried out in Kashmir was and is unprecedented.

 

Chairman PPP said that the behaviour and policy of federal and Kashmir governments with the people is derogating. We feel your pain because you are the comrades of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed |Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and I cannot leave you at the mercy of these callous governments. Now I am among you all, and once again you have to support the PPP like you did with the Quaid-e-Awam and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. If you want for the problems facing Kashmir to be solved, then you have to support the PPP. In occupied Kashmir people are fighting against Modi’s policies and here in Azad Kashmir people are fighting poverty, inflation and unemployment in Imran Khan’s government. You are suffering because of the failed and incompetent government of Imran Khan. The people of Kashmir always prospered during the PPP governments.

 

The PPP is the only party to get you out of these sufferings. We should form a government of PPP which can not only stand up to Modi’s government but also save you from this PTIMF government. He asked the workers to campaign door to door and deliver the message of PPP. He resolved that the next prime minister of Azad Kashmir will be from PPP. He asked to the people to elect PPP candidate, Afsar Shahid with a huge margin.

 

At Palak Chaksawari in Mirpur Azad Kashmir, addressing a huge crowd Chairman Bilawal said that he is always happy to visit Kashmir because the relations between the PPP and the people of Kashmir go back three generations. Our relation is not only political but historical, and it will continue for generations to come. When you supported Shaheed Bhutto, we wrote history together. When you supported Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, we also recorded a history. When you supported President Zardari, the PPP government carried out historic development. Now, we have started the journey of a new generation.

 

The youth of both Azad and Occupied Kashmir are also starting a new journey. They are fighting against Modi’s government in Occupied Kashmir and against Imran Khan’s policy of unemployment, poverty and inflation in Azad Kashmir. They cannot send their children to schools, buy medicines for their elders and feed their children. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had said that we will fight for Kashmir for a thousand years if need be. There was a time when Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto said that where Kashmiris shed sweat, we will shed blood. Now, Modi has done a historical injustice to Kashmiri people and Imran Khan’s response is “What can I do?”.

 

When Zulfikar Ali Bhutto used to give a call for strike in Azad Kashmir, the people of Occupied Kashmir used to observe it as well. Imran Khan tried to find a solution for Kashmir by changing the name of Kashmir Highway to Srinagar Highway. You have to respond to this failed and incompetent prime minister by your votes. You have to tell the world that regardless of what this puppet prime minister says, the Kashmiri people are standing with the people of Occupied Kashmir. You have to give a message to the entities who declared the person who gave you nuclear capability and missile technology, a security risk. This puppet has not only compromised on Kashmir, but also wants to compromise Pakistan’s nuclear capability.

 

The Kashmiri people will declare this puppet prime minister a security risk by rejecting him in the elections. You will chase out PTI from Kashmir. After electing a prime minister in Kashmir, we will elect a PPP prime minister in Pakistan as well, who will not compromise on Kashmir and will also be able to solve your problems. There is only one party which can not only protect Azad Kashmir, but Occupied Kashmir as well. You have to elect PPP candidate with huge margin. The PPP will serve the people of Kashmir after getting elected on 25 July.

 

Addressing party workers at Dhana, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that late Matloob Inqilabi served the Kashmiri people tirelessly and kept the flag of Shaheed Zualfikar Ali Bhutto and Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed flying high. Now the son of the Matloob Inqilabi will continue his mission. Now the new generation is starting his struggle and now Matloob Inqilabi will start his struggle with me.

 

The PPP has always served the people of Kashmir and I have come here to ask your support and your vote. Now this new generation will solve the problem confronting Azad Kashmir and will also stand by with the Occupied Kashmir. Even a child knows that the PPP has given employment to the Kashmiri people. You have to support the PPP ask anybody whether a government servant or a teacher or a soldier, their salaries were increased during the PPP governments. We have to increase the salaries and pension and have to provide employment to ever household.

 

The nuclear capability and missile technology is with us due to Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed. This cowered Imran Khan says that we have no need of nuclear capability. We will not allow this puppet to compromise on our nuclear capability. You have to vote for the PPP on 25th July and have to vote for Waleed Inqilabi and all other PPP candidates. The PPP the only party which has not shook hands with Modi. We don’t celebrate with such people and we do not share our sadness with them. We have always supported Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and Mard-i-Hur President Zardari and now you will support me.

Islamabad, June 24, 2021 (PPI-OT):Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari talking to media at the Parliament House Islamabad on Thursday, has said that PPP will not support the government’s legislation that is being brought to facilitate Kulbhushan Jadhav.

Responding to a question about the shortage of gas in Sindh, Chairman Bilawal said that the crisis of energy sector which is looming on Pakistan will have to be borne by the common people of Pakistan. It is a very unfortunate situation as it was avoidable but because of the failure of the government, the common people will have to suffer. The PPP always fights for its rights and we think that production orders of every member should be issued for the budget session. No one can be stopped from representing their constituency.

Due to the continued incarceration of Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah, the people of Sukkur are deprived of their representation. If the speaker does not fulfil his responsibility, then you are sending a message that the members will not be able to exercise their right, be it stopping the budget or casting their vote for the no confidence motion. This is a very disputed and anti-people budget, if the House is not complete and there is no representation of Waziristan and Sukkur, then as we say, the entire budget process is illegal. The speaker should take note of the decision of Islamabad High Court into account for issuing production orders of Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah. The opposition leader has sent in writing to the speaker for the production order of Khursheed Shah. I have also sent a letter to the speaker today.

Regarding the unfortunate death of Usman Kakar, Chairman Bilawal said that we have great respect for Usman Kakar and he was an honourable colleague, we will miss him in the Parliament. We tried our best but unfortunately, we lost him. We will do according to the demands of his family and his party. The government should also address those demands.

Regarding Afghanistan, he said that he had a point in his budget speech about it, because Pakistan has been dealing with this situation since1980. Whatever happens in Afghanistan will impact the entire region and the world. We would have to face the consequences for decades for the decisions we make about Afghanistan now. This is why we demanded that the ministries and institutions which are involved in negotiations should bring the negotiation on record.

PPP has a viewpoint and it should be heard. We will hear them out but the way our government and international powers are handling the situation, is not making things easy for Pakistan and Afghanistan and our coming generations. We have to address this issue. As far as giving airbases to the United States, it is up to the government, and we hope that the decisions taken will be in the interest of Pakistan. We do not trust the prime minister because he takes u-turns and we are concerned that he might take a u-turn on this as well.

Addressing the Kashmir elections, Chairman Bilawal said that he is starting the campaign from tomorrow. About the political activities in the Punjab, he said that not only Punjab, but in the entire Pakistan the situation for PPP is going to improve and President Zardari’s role is very important in all this. He is the only politician in the country who can unite all politicians.

President Zardari had gone to Lahore to consult his doctors and we are thankful to Pervez Ilahi who visited him to enquire about his health, and whoever has ever worked with the PPP, we want to work with them. These meetings with President Zardari are only the beginning and a lot will happen in the coming days. We will keep trying to form government in the centre and every province of Pakistan. We think that we can solve the problems through a progressive manifesto of the PPP.

About the forced conversions in Sindh, Chairman Bilawal said that crimes take place everywhere, but we have to see what the response of political parties on such issues. The Pakistani community is very patriotic, and most of them live in Sindh and forced conversions are an issue for us but PPP is always at the forefront of minority, women and the rights of the downtrodden masses. It is unfortunate that the legislation on the issue is not up to the mark. Sindh is the only province which banned underage marriages. Unfortunately, some judicial decisions violate this law but we are trying to protect every citizen.

Regarding the bill on Kulbhushan Jadhav, he said that the government brought the bill in the darkness of the night for this individual, but he did not take advantage of this bill. Now, they are bringing this bill to the assembly. We will oppose this bill because we were not taken into confidence. PPP will not become a party in facilitating Kulbhushan Jadhav. If Imran Khan wants to facilitate him, he can do so. However, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and PPP will not support it.

Answering a question about Manzoor Watto, Chairman Bilawal said that Watto says that he never left PPP so we think that we should work with everyone. The people who have always been sincere to the PPP, they will be dealt differently and we will also work with the old comrades who are coming back. PPP’s doors are open for everyone who raised the slogan of Jeay Bhutto. We want to form a progressive government in this country and for this, we will take along whoever is ready to work with us.

Regarding Shahbaz Sharif’s proposed APC, he said that we are ready to cooperate with the opposition leader on every effort to unite the opposition. The people in the government from my province were more passionate in their speeches because the PPP had defeated them badly in their cities. They are not able to tolerate their defeat.

PTI used to say that Karachi is their city, we brought them down from the first to the sixth position. The PPP jiyalas badly defeated them in Matli, Badin. They will remember it for their whole life. They should take out their frustration on their own Prime Minister Imran Khan who did not care for them. Hence, they lost from Badin to Karachi to Kashmir. I will ask the PPP jiyalas to not adopt their language and attitude and work coolly and solve peoples’ problems.

Islamabad, June 23, 2021 (PPI-OT):Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari talking to the media at Parliament House in Islamabad on Wednesday strongly condemned the terror incident in Lahore this morning. He said that there will be an increase in such incidents when the Pakistan policy in Afghan peace process is not correct and some terror organisations are active across the border. I had demanded on the floor of the Assembly that whatever this government is doing covertly and through the backdoor should be brought before the representatives of the people.

The government should tell us what its policy is. The Speaker has also accepted our demand and after the budget session the opinion of other parties will also be made known. Regarding meeting of President Zardari with Pervez Ilahi, Chairman PPP said that we are very thankful to Pervez Ilahi who visited Zardari Saheb to inquire about his health. We had achieved many successes in government with Pervez Ilahi’s party and when we increased the buying price of wheat, PML-Q not only appreciated it but itself demanded an increase in buying price thus benefitting growers in Punjab as well.

Chairman PPP said that the government has done injustice to the people of Pakistan and the business community by legislating beyond the demands of FATF. This government has made the situation difficult for the business community and common man by such legislations. This legislation was forcibly passed and also could not take Pakistan out of the grey list. The business community was already suffering due to Covid-19 and continues to do so now because of this legislation.

Regarding proposed APC of the opposition, Chairman Bilawal said that he has already spoken to Shahbaz Sharif about the government’s measures for rigging in the elections, the opposition needs to work together against it. We should not allow the government to rig the elections. Chairman Bilawal said that he is planning to visit entire Punjab soon and people are contacting him from all over Pakistan to join the PPP.

He said that our doors are open for everyone who wants to get rid of the failed and unjustified government. He said that Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has been tasked with contacting everyone who has raised Jeay Bhutto slogan even at the time of his grandfather, mother or worked with his father, he is ready to work with them all. There will be an increase in party’s support base and such people are in contact with the party.
