“We have to continue our progressive struggle and defeat the conspiracies of dictatorship.”
“The court can, and must, only maintain its legitimacy through the dispensation of justice, not by coercion and censorship.”
“Bhutto is an emotion, a love. To those who attack Malala, I say, if you attack one Malala, thousands of Malalas will be born.”
“I know every child thinks of their mother as a superwoman; I certainly did.”
“In Pakistan, there have been two real powers – one is Bhuttoism, and one is the worshipers of dictatorship. I call them the supporters of the establishment.”
“I can’t let my mother’s death have been in vain. Democracy is the best revenge, and we will have it.”
“I think censorship in the name of fighting fake news is a dangerous thing for Pakistan.”
“Judicial activism must be lessened, and the judiciary should do its work and let politicians work.”
“The PPP is not just a political party. This is our life.”
“If all you have to criticise me on is my age or my accent, then you really can’t defeat me on the issues.”
