KARACHI (Voice of Russia): Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi took an oath that he would not fight the terrorists, and if he is not ready to fight the terrorists, the Peoples Party will do it. He said the emergency can end if the opposition stands with the federal government against terrorism.
Speaking at a ceremony marking 19 years of the Karsaz tragedy, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said the Peoples Party has always faced terrorism bravely, people from every walk of life were martyred in the war against terrorism, and our brave armed forces are making sacrifices for the security of the country.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said Sohail Afridi was not ready for the war against terrorism, and that was why we supported a decision of the government. He said the war against terrorism will continue and the terrorists will be eliminated, the country will be cleared of terrorists, and the war against terrorism will be fought unitedly. Until we fight terrorism together as one, we will not succeed.
He further said Pakistan is facing a historic economic crisis, and it seems conditions will not improve but will get worse.
He said there is a need for improvement in the democratic system, and proposed forming a committee in Parliament on electoral reforms. If the opposition wants governor’s rule to end, then terrorism must be fought together, and if the opposition stands with the federal government against terrorism, the emergency can end.
The PPP chairman further said if the opposition wants an end to governor’s rule or the emergency, it should come and hold talks with the federal government. He invited the opposition to join the electoral reforms committee. He said Mohsin Naqvi knows the policy of the Peoples Party and Asif Ali Zardari on new provinces or administrative units, provinces can be formed through constitutional and legal means, and where consensus exists, why are provinces not being formed.
