PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Tuesday was elected as the chairperson of the National Assembly Standing Committee for Human Rights.

He added that the PPP always wanted to strengthen the parliament.

“Democracy has no meaning without human rights. If we cannot guarantee human rights then we cannot guarantee any other thing, included freedom of expression, access to healthcare, to education, the rule of law and justice,” Bilawal stressed.
He remarked the “canvas of human rights is very expansive”.

The PPP chairman regretted the way in which the human rights are being violated in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

In response to a question, Bilawal said, “until Pakistan does not shift to a “human rights-based society”, the country’s democracy will not be strengthened and there will not be social justice”.

“Bilawal does not need any advice,”said Asif Ali Zardari while responding to a question from a journalist.
