‘Give PPP equal political rights in Punjab’

Author: NNI

LAHORE: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto on Wednesday demanded equal political rights for PPP in Punjab.

PPP chairman visited Lahore to condole with the family of former senator Kazim Khan who passed away earlier this year. Khan was elected in 2009 on PPP ticket.

Speaking on the occasion, Bilawal welcomed Nawaz Sharif’s decision of holding public gatherings in Sindh, but also showed his reservations in Punjab and said the PPP workers were being killed in the province. Bilawal said, “Both Sindh and Balochistan have reservations regarding population census, but we do not want to make this matter controversial.”

The PPP chairman also opposed the would-be ban on social media. He said this step of the government was undemocratic as it represents ideology of dictators.
