Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that Benazir Bhutto had struggled for the restoration of democracy in Pakistan for 30 years.
He added Benazir accepted her martyrdom but had not withdrawn from her stance and had not compromised on her ideologies.
He maintained that Jilalas (diehard workers) had once again proved today that Lahore is still Benazir Bhutto’s city.
He said that Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto had given a constitution to Pakistan.
“We made the nuclear bomb which is why we are able to look at the enemies in the eyes. We combated Dictator Zia and you elected the first woman prime minister of the Muslim Ummah. Political prisoners were released when Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto came to power.”
He observed that whenever conspiracies were hatched against the PPP, but in fact, these intrigues were carried out against the people of Pakistan and democracy.
He said that the PPP had always served the people of Pakistan and provided them bread, cloth and shelter but the current government of the PTI is snatching these things from the poor masses of Pakistan.
The media was liberated and the growers and workers were made gleeful. You supported President Zardari and got the 18th Amendment as the provinces were given their rights. Your money is spent on you and terrorists were defeated. We made it possible for the provinces to get their rights along with the NFC award.
He claimed that Asif Ali Zardari had increased the salaries of employees by 100 per cent and he provided jobs to the youth of Pakistan. But Imran Khan had deprived the youth of their jobs and made them jobless, he criticised.
Chairman Bilawal said that there was a global recession at the time of the PPP government. We were importing wheat, sugar and rice when President Zardari gave the farmers a support price which resulted in us exporting the same items to the world.

Chairman PPP beckoned the people to support the PPP in the same manner. He vowed to complete Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’s mission. We will remove the puppet when we reach Islamabad, the Chairman said. We will enter Lahore tomorrow and take your message to Islamabad.
Bilawal said that whether they would stage a sit-in in Islamabad or not, the answer would be given soon.
