Muzzafarabad: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said it was a “tragedy” for Pakistan — the country that saw the likes of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto as premiers — now has a “puppet” and “selected” prime minister.
Addressing the PDM rally in Muzaffarabad he said “History will remember, that when there were genocide conditions in Kashmir when Kashmir was attacked when the entire region was turned into a jail, our prime minister, on the floor of the National Assembly, said that ‘what can I do?”
Bilawal said that such a prime minister imposes a threat to Pakistanis and Kashmiris’ freedom alike. Only “an elected representative and democracy in the country” could respond to Modi — not fascism.
Lashing out at the prime minister, he said that the premier had claimed of becoming Kashmiris’ ambassador, however, for now, “he was just Kulbhushan Jadhav’s ambassador”.
“He keeps reiterating that he won’t give an NRO to others, however, he is trying to give an NRO to Kulbhushan Jadhav — and that too without informing the National Assembly, through an Ordinance.”
Commending the Pakistan Air force, he said that our brave pilots shot down the enemy’s airplane, but our prime minister sends back the prisoners of war after serving them tea.
Bilawal said that if the Kashmiris were left to decide about their future, they would have selected to be free. “Hamara nara tumhara nara, rai shumari, rai shumari — our chant, your chant, election, election.”
“Kashmiris have been fighting for their freedom throughout their lives, and now, they will not permit the ‘selected’ to curb their freedom,” Bilawal said.
