ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Monday said that the PPP would beat both Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the Azad Kashmir elections.
He said the coward rulers in Islamabad and Muzaffarabad were afraid of his jiyalas [activists] as PPP was the only party which was supported by the people of Kashmir and Pakistan. He was addressing a rally in Nakyal, Azad Kashmir, in connection with his party’s election campaign in AJK. Without naming Prime Minister Imran Khan, he said, “This coward puppet asked ‘what can I do?’ in the National Assembly when Modi launched an attack on Kashmir,” he said. Bilawal said the people of Kashmir could not tolerate that cowardice.
“The Kashmiris will send a message to the world on July 25 that they do not want any kind of puppet government, but a real people's government, and that is of the PPP,” he said. Bilawal said, “We are the jiyalas who confronted Zia, Musharraf, terrorists and Modi. “We do not invite Modi to our wedding celebrations; do not pray for Modi's success in elections,” he said.
He said, “We are the jiyalas who learnt the lesson that if need arises, we will fight for thousand years for Kashmir and will shed our blood where the Kashmiris shed their sweat.”
He said the July 5, 1977 was a black day in Pakistani's history when the first directly elected government was toppled in a coup by dictator General Ziaul Haq. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was Quaid-e-Awam; he was the chairman of the Islamic Summit, he was the founder of nuclear capability of Pakistan and was the leader who gave lands to the landless poor growers, gave rights to the labourers and worked for the poor people of Pakistan.
“The PPP is the only party which can overcome the economic crisis and can negotiate with China as well as the United States,” he said.
