Bilawal wants SC to set record straight in ZAB murder reference

https://ift.tt/76jIEgT Former foreign minister and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Tuesday said people have acquitted former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of any wrongdoing, and now it is the judiciary's responsibility to declare the PPP founder innocent and hold accountable those involved in false conviction. "Our judiciary now has the opportunity to deliver justice in the Bhutto [murder] case and affirm his innocence as the people have already declared him innocent by electing Benazir Bhutto as the prime minister,” he said while addressing a party convention in Gujranwala. گوجرانوالہ: پاکستان پیپلزپارٹی کے چیئرمین بلاول بھٹو زرداری ورکرز کنونشن میں شرکاء کے پرجوش استقبال کا خیرمقدم کررہے ہیں۔@BBhuttoZardari #BBZinGujranwala pic.twitter.com/T8dxdKZqSt — PPP (@MediaCellPPP) December 12, 2023 Bilawal emphasised the need for the court to acknowledge Bhutto's innocence and rectify the historical record by pronouncing judgment on those who falsely accused Bhutto. “This would bring confidence to people that even they can get justice from court,” he added.

Highlighting his political upbringing, Bilawal stated that he received no training in hatred, division, or mudslinging. Instead, he inherited a commitment from the iconic Bhutto to serve the poor, farmers, labourers, and disadvantaged regions. Reiterating his electoral promises, the PPP chairman vowed to ensure employment for youth, recognise the property rights of slum dwellers, and introduce farmer and labourer cards. Prior to his address, Bilawal spoke to the media outside the Supreme Court. He stated that the person accused of Bhutto's “murder” was alive and present in the court today. لائیو: پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی کا گوجرانوالہ میں ورکرز کنونشن https://t.co/GzFDuwJEGg — Pakistan Peoples Party - PPP (@PPP_Org) December 12, 2023
