Bilawal Bhutto vows PPP will create new history in Azad Kashmir polls

WEB DESK: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday vowed at a gathering in Mirpur that he wanted to ensure stronger political representation of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) in parliament, underscoring the upcoming elections as the most important polls and urging the people to work together for a brighter future of the region.

Addressing supporters in Mirpur, Bilawal said he had returned to the city and felt as if he had reached his second home. He said the Bhutto family’s connection with Mirpur spans three generations.

Bilawal expressed hope that the leadership would continue serving the people of Mirpur and work for their progress and prosperity.

Speaking of the PPP’s legacy, he said former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave Pakistan a unanimous constitution and laid the foundation of the country’s nuclear programme.

“Today, Pakistan is the only nuclear power in the Islamic world,” Bilawal said, adding that President Asif Ali Zardari also created history by completing Benazir Bhutto’s unfinished mission through the 18th Constitutional Amendment.

He said the PPP and its workers would now join hands to write a new chapter in history and ensure a better future for Azad Kashmir.

Bilawal further claimed that history would remember the PPP for providing ownership rights to the people of Kashmir.
