There was a clash between security personnel and jialas. PPP leadership remained silent during the clash. Jialas demanded an immediate change of the Punjab leadership. PPP Central Punjab President Raja Pervez Ashraf addressing the ceremony thanked Bilawal Bhutto. He lauded the vision of the Bhutto family. He said after Eid, PPP will complete the organization and start door to door campaign.

PPP Chairman Bilawal on the occasion assured PPP workers that their respect will be restored. 

Bilawal said he was happy to hear the slogans of Jeey Bhutto coming from the Governor House. He said PPP is playing an important role in the country's politics. The people are facing difficulties. The threat of terrorism is seen from Balochistan. 

He said people are suffering poverty and unemployment. There is division in our politics. It has become difficult to reach a consensus even on national issues. Some political parties did not attend the National Security meeting. They had their own personal issues and they became burdensome on the national issues. The Prime Minister should call the Security Council meeting again. And the rest of the political parties should also be invited.
