Addressing the students’ convention organised under the auspices of Peoples Students Federation in Karachi, he said when his mother Benazir Bhutto had become the country’s prime minister for the first time, she restored the students unions, which had been banned by military dictator General Ziaul Haq. “Participating in politics is the youths’ right,” he said, adding that now they will take their decisions on their own.  

PPP chairman noted it with concern that cases of harassment at universities in the country were on the rise. 

Bilawal said that educational institutions were increasing their fees at a brisk pace. "PPP has made efforts to make education free for all,” he claimed, and added that the party would provide educational facilities to the people at their doorstep next time it came to power.
