Bilawal extends New Year’s greetings to nation

Author: Staff Report

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, while greeting the nation on the occasion of New Year, expressed hopes that 2020 would be the year of establishing the peoples’ rule in the country.

In his message, the PPP chairman said that the people of the country had suffered immensely owing to flawed, biased and corrupt policies of the current government. “The people of the country had struggled to make ends meet and to earn a living and the poor were being victimised in a class war by those beholden to the establishmentarian elite.”

He said that 800,000 people had been pushed into poverty by the inhumane policies of the government and astronomical inflation is condemning more to the same. He also said that removing 1 million women from the BISP rolls to much fanfare of ‘cost reduction’ by the government while its policies further mired the poorest in abject poverty was criminal.

He also noted that this past year, India had converted occupied Kashmir into the world’s largest open-air prison. The fundamental rights of the Kashmiri people were being trampled on in broad daylight and that the Pakistan People’s Party would continue to raise the issue across the world. Bilawal said that the coming year would see the world finally take notice of the excesses of the occupying Indian forces and that the PPP would fight for 2020 to be the year of self-determination for the Kashmiri people.
