Expressing concern that militancy was again raising its head in Pakistan, former foreign minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday stressed the need for political unity to combat the threat, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.


Addressing the Peshawar High Court Bar, Bilawal said that the entire nation was to take on militancy like one unit. “If we keep fighting with each other, it will benefit the terrorists, he said, and added, “Pakistan is in a difficult situation these days. We all will have to forget our differences to pull the country out of crisis.”


He further said that yesterday’s attack on a police station in Dera Ismael Khan was condemnable. “We all gave sacrifices due to which terrorism was eliminated from the country,” he said.



PPP chairman regretted that talks with the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had dealt a major blow to the country. “Those who lost their lives in incidents of terrorism want the government to answer why their sacrifices were allowed to go waste; why a compromise was made with militants.


He called for exposing the people who had colluded with each other to hang former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB). “A murder is after all a murder. And demanding justice is a constitutional right of the aggrieved party,” Bilawal said, and expressed the resolve to get justice done in ZAB’s judicial murder case.



Let it be clear, he went on to say, that from now on nobody would be able to dictate judges.


PPP chairman said the country had resources. “If other nations could make their countries prosperous, why can’t we?” he questioned.


Terming inflation as one of the country’s biggest issues, he said if different segments of the nation would keep fighting with each other, how the issue would be resolved.
