Bhutto Jr stated that he still has much to learn from his country and its people, emphasising that he does not yet consider himself to have all the answers. He is preparing for his political journey. He also expressed concern over the water crisis in Sindh, calling it a matter of life and death for the people of the province. He described the lack of water as a form of cultural genocide, stressing that both humans and wildlife in the region would not survive without access to water.

He noted that the government is shifting its narrative in response to these widespread demonstrations.
