PPP’s chairman Bilawal Bhutto criticizes judiciary

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday criticized judiciary, saying it doesn’t have time to punish the killers of my mother but it has the time to carry out a trial of her grave?

Addressing a large gathering at Garhi Khuda Bux on the eve of the 5^th anniversary of Benazir Bhutto, he said the judiciary has time to fix the prices of daily-use commodities but not listen to the Bhutto reference.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the son of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and murdered ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, was barely 19 when he inherited a role in a dynasty whose history is steeped in power and bloodshed.

The PPP Chairperson said the PPP believes in independent judiciary and has accepted all its verdicts. He asked the Supreme Court to decide the presidential reference in Bhutto case at the earliest. He also pointed out that after availability of Joint Investigation Team and UN reports in Shaheed Benazir Bhutto martyrdom case‚ the judiciary should also bring the culprits to book.

The chairman also praised slain Awami National Party (ANP) leader Bashir Bilour and teenage activist Malala Yousafzai, who survived from the attack of Taliban militants in Swat.

He noted, “Those who think that they can make us afraid from these event are on the wrong path,” he said adding that he even not left the country after the demise of his mother. He further said that if the militant mindset would harm one Malala, there would be thousands to replace him.

“How long you will go in killing innocent people, if one Malala will be killed thousands will replace her, if one Benazir was killed thousands have replaced her,” he said. Every worker of PPP wants the decision of murder of Bhutto.

He pointed out that the PPP Government faced enormous challenges due to global recession and terrorism but despite that our economy is standing firmly on its feet. Exports crossed 25 billion dollar mark this year‚ foreign exchange reserves stand at 14 billion dollar‚ KSE index has gone beyond 16‚000 points and inflation has come down from 25 to just 9 percent.

Bilawal Bhutto said all this is just a beginning and the PPP is committed to ameliorate the lot of the people. He said the PPP manifesto emphasizes that people are fountainhead of power and that is why the party is focusing on them.

He said the PPP also sought an apology from people of Balochistan and decided that resources of the province would be exploited by the province and not the federation. He urged people of Balochistan to reject the negative mindset and not to leave Pakistan to such elements.
