Larkana Garhi Khuda Bakhsh – On the anniversary of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’s death, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), said that his party was still committed to protecting Pakistan’s nuclear and weapons projects. The PPP leader said at an event in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh that these programs, which were started by Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and made even stronger by Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, are still an important part of Pakistan’s defense policy.
Bilawal said that foreign plots were getting stronger and pointed to recent comments from the US that were critical of Pakistan’s weapons program. That’s why he said, “The enemy views Bhutto’s nuclear and missile programs with suspicion, but as long as the PPP exists, there will be no compromise on these strategic assets.”
He spoke badly about political groups that he said were ready to make deals on the country’s nuclear weapons and said they were weakening national security. He was also very against the government’s stance on canals, saying it broke agreements that had already been made.
Bilawal also thought about what his mother, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, did for politics and spoke out against the people who killed her. He said that some politicians were just tools who were ready to hurt Pakistan’s main goals.
Bilawal talked about the PPP’s role in bringing people together in politics and said that the party put national unity ahead of power. He told the people there that in 2008, his party gave up its right to lead Punjab’s government so that the government would be more stable. He told the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) that they needed to keep the promises they made when the coalition government was being put together, especially when it came to the Public Sector Development Program (PSDP).
President Asif Ali Zardari, who was also at the event, laid flower wreaths at the graves of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto and other victims to honor them. Zardari said that Benazir Bhutto was a strong supporter of freedom and justice who wanted to make Pakistan a place where the will of the people would be respected.
It is important to remember that Shaheed Benazir Bhutto was killed on December 27, 2007, during a gathering at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi. She was Pakistan’s first female prime minister and a sign of strength around the world. People who followed her continue to be inspired by her, and her memory acts as a reminder of what people have given up for freedom in Pakistan.
