PPP chairman says now is the time for judiciary to deliver justice to ZAB Former foreign minister and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Tuesday asked what can PML-N supremo do different if he secures the premiership for the fourth time.

“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,” he said while addressing a party convection in Gujranwala.

“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.”

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.

The PPP chairman stated that the reference filed by former president Asif Ali Zardari and the courage of Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa would lead to justice for Bhutto and the people. “Once justice is served, the party will fulfil Bhutto’s mission of addressing the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter for the nation,” he added.

Bilawal asserted that Bhutto’s vision also holds the solution to Pakistan’s present economic challenges. “Unlike some politicians who resort to personal attacks for votes, our strength lies in our commitment to the welfare of impoverished.”

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.
