KARACHI: Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the country is facing the worst kind of intolerance in modern days.
He further added, “injecting political weeds and extremism into national politics was damaging the whole society far from our understanding”.
In his message on the International Day for Tolerance being observed by the United Nations yesterday, the PPP Chairman said that democracy was being weakened under a plan where the election process is getting replaced with selection. This is being done to make the people of Pakistan irrelevant in governance and decision-making affecting the very fate and future of the country.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the People’s Party’s leadership has always promoted tolerance to create an equalitarian society based on justice and peace. However, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was judicially murdered and the first elected woman Prime Minister of the Muslim world Benazir Bhutto was brutally assassinated. Previously, President Zardari suffered 12 years in jail without any conviction and now he has been imprisoned for more than 6 months without any FIR, Reference and on mere hollow accusations, he added.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the man who is the tallest symbol of tolerance in Pakistan has been deprived of a duly required medical treatment including access to his personal doctors as his health is worsening day by day.
He pointed out that PPP was promoting tolerance in Pakistan because it belongs to the segments of society who want their future generations to flourish in the country instead of those spreading intolerance here but dreaming to raise and settle their future generations elsewhere except Pakistan.
