The patron-in-chief of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, lambasted the federal the government for its peace initiative saying that “Bhutto’s grandson is alive and ready to take the challenge”.
He blamed the government for ‘creating a mess’ by pursuing direct talks with militants. “This mess will be washed by the blood of martyrs,” he said while referring to the sacrifices rendered by his grandfather Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and mother Benazir Bhutto.
Addressing a mammoth gathering at the ancestral village of the Bhutto clan, Garhi Khuda Bakhsh to mark the 35th death anniversary of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) on Friday, Bilawal warned that, “once again daughters will be buried alive if the ‘zalimaan’ succeeded in imposing their ideology on the country.” Criticising the peace initiative, he said, “when the Quaid-e-Azam was creating Pakistan, such elements had opposed him but “today, we are negotiating with them”.
