SKARDU: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari today (Saturday) has asserted that Gilgit-Baltistan would be made a constitutional province.
“It is not a new promise, it is part of the party’s 2018 manifesto,” Bilawal said while addressing an election rally in the region. “You have to ensure our victory from all constituencies in Gilgit Baltistan to fulfil the demands,” Bilawal added.
The PPP Chairman further said that the party would ensure political rights to the people of this region that were being enjoyed by the people in other provinces of the country.
Talking about Prime Minister Imran Khan, Bilawal said that the premier earlier opposed giving the GB status of a constitutional province. “However, now he is offering you the lollypop of province,” he claimed.
“Ask the people of South Punjab which were also promised for their province,” PPP leader said. “They had also promised for generating 10 million jobs and five million homes instead the people lost their jobs and became shelterless,” Bilawal remarked.
Bilawal said he also wants to serve the people of GB like Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. “We will establish hospitals for women and children. GB people have to stamp the arrow on the ballot so that we can realise the dreams of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto,” he concluded.
