He said that Bilawal Bhutto, as Foreign Minister, presented the Kashmir case to India with courage and did not back down despite a bounty being placed on his head.
Sharjeel Inam Memon said that the PPP has always made sacrifices for democracy, endured imprisonment, and given lives; the PPP has never changed its narrative, has fought terrorism, and has even accepted the gallows. There have been conspiracies and media trials over fifty-eight years, but the PPP’s struggle has always been for the country and the people.
He further said that no political party in the world is building 2.1 million houses for free; the Sindh government of the Pakistan Peoples Party is building 2.1 million houses for flood victims and is giving ownership rights to women.
He said that the cheapest electricity is currently being produced from Thar coal, and the cheapest electricity is being supplied to the country from Thar coal; even experts acknowledge that the cheapest electricity in Pakistan can be produced from Thar coal.
