NAP not being implemented, says Bilawal

SUKKUR: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari while condemning the suicide attack in Lahore said that the National Action Plan (NAP) was not being implemented in letter and spirit.

Bilawal was expressing these views while speaking to media at the Sadhu Bela Temple near Sukkur on Wednesday. Bilawal Bhutto condemned the blast on Bedian Road in Lahore saying that the government should fulfill the promises such as those regarding forming a national security committee of Parliament so that terrorism-related issues could be addressed.

“The National Action Plan is not being implemented,” Bilawal told the reporters. “There are many points that have not been addressed such as the reemergence of banned organisations under new names or the judicial reforms or action against terrorists in Punjab,” he said.

On a question as to when he would enter Punjab, the PPP chairman said, “I keep on visiting Punjab and keep on working. I am travelling to Lahore tomorrow.” Bilawal was at the temple for lunch hosted by Opposition Leader Khursheed Ahmed Shah. Upon his arrival Bilawal was welcomed by Khursheed Shah’s son. Sindh former chief minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah was also present on the occasion. Other leaders of the party were also present on the occasion.
