LAHORE: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday said he would change Pakistan after becoming prime minister.

The PPP chairman also criticised the National Action Plan (NAP) as well as the performance of Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, saying that NAP had lost its meaning due to the poor performance of the interior minister and it has become the Nawaz League’s action plan.

He also shouted ‘Go Nisar Go’ that was loudly responded by the charged crowd.

Bilawal also recited revolutionary Urdu poetry of pro-people revolutionary poet Habib Jalib.

He said the PPP is the party of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, Nusrat Bhutto, Shaheed Mir Murtaza Bhutto and Shaheed Shahnawaz Bhutto.

He also raised slogans of ‘Pakistan Khappay’ and the crowd also echoed it and shouted ‘Khappay, Khappay Bhutto Khappay’. He said the country was burning and Punjab has to rise-up and play its historic role to save it.

He congratulated the people of Sindh on Sindhi Cultural Day and earlier Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was described by the speakers as Indus valley civilization’s son.

The PPP chairman recalled that there were times when Indus civilisation stretched across the current Pakistan.

Bilawal cut a cake along with Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, PPP Sindh office-bearers Nisar Khuhro, Waqar Mehdi, Senator Aajiz Dhamrah, Senator Saeed Ghani, Political Secretary to the Chairman Jameel Soomro and others.

Meanwhile, former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Khursheed Shah, former Sindh CM Qaim Ali Shah, CEC Members Yousuf Talpur, Ejaz Jakhrani, senators, MNAs, MPAs and former office-bearers also attended the conference.

Separately, Bilawal expressed his deep sorrow and grief over the sad demise of Umer Jatt, a senior leader of PPP Karachi.

He eulogised the services rendered by Jatt for the party and restoration of democracy.

“Today we have lost a committed and loyal jiyala,” he added.

Bilawal prayed to God to rest the departed soul in eternal peace and courage and fortitude to the members of the grieving family to bear this irreparable loss with equanimity.
