Zardari urges parties to be responsible

Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Wednesday urged all the political parties to demonstrate responsibility in the current situation as the country cannot afford any more tragedies.

He said it is the time to develop consensus and address the challenges being faced by the country including the most imminent law and order situation. He said PPP stands for democracy, rule of law and justice. He expressed the hope that the incumbent government will seriously fulfil its responsibilities.

The PPP Chairman asked the government to brief the house about the steps taken for the protection of Asia Bibi and the honourable judges. Bilawal said, “My grandfather, my uncles, my mother, my governor Punjab, my federal minister for minorities were assassinated. I appeal to all political parties to show some responsibility as we cannot afford any more tragedies.”

He said, “I do not agree with some of our opposition party members’ criticism about the prime minister’s speech. “I expected him to deliver a speech today along the lines of what he said yesterday, and for me to be able say: Qadam barhayen, Imran Khan, hum tumharay saath hain (Step ahead, Imran Khan, we are with you). We are with democracy, we are with justice, and we are with rule of law.”

My grandfather, my uncles, my mother, my governor Punjab, my federal minister for minorities were assassinated. I appeal to all political parties to show some responsibility as we cannot afford any more tragedies.”
