PPP will not allow govt to compromise on Kashmir: Bilawal Bhutto

Muzaffarabad: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the relations between the PPP and the people of Kashmir go back three generations.

Chair PPP said this while addressing a mammoth public gathering in Muzaffarabad under the aegis of Pakistan Democratic Movement on the solidarity Day with the Kashmiri people.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that it is unfortunate for this country that an incapable had been imposed on Pakistan as prime minister where towering personalities like Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto were the prime minister of Pakistan before. In the past, prime ministers of Pakistan had been raising their voice for the rights of Kashmiri people but now this prime minister is silent over the atrocities meted out to the Kashmiri people. The entire Kashmir has been turned into a prison and is under lockdown for over 500 days but the prime minister says that he cannot do anything for them. This incapable Imran Khan has put the liberty of every Pakistani and Kashmiri in danger. If we have to respond to Modi then we cannot do it in the presence of this prime minister. We have to respond to Modi through an elected and democratic prime minister, he said.

Chair PPP said that Imran Khan had promised Kashmiris that he will become an ambassador for them but he has become an advocate for Kulbhushan Jadhav and trying to give him NRO. Our air force downed an Indian plane and the Indian pilot was arrested but the PM offered him a cup of tea and returned him to India.

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the Kashmiris can get their independence themselves if they are provided an opportunity. He said that every Pakistani is standing shoulder to shoulder with Kashmiri people. Kashmiris demand is plebiscite but the government was following General Musharraf’s formula and has compromised on the rights of Kashmiri people. He said that no Pakistani will allow this PM and its facilitators to trade the rights of Kashmiris. He raised the slogan “Kashmir Ka Sodda, Na Manzoor”.

He said that the slogan of Kashmiri people is plebiscite in Kashmir and the PM and the facilitators will have to come on the same page with Kashmiris. The people of Kashmir will not allow to compromise on their rights. Chairman PPP said that Imran Khan is calling Modi as Hitler now but at the time of Indian elections he was praying for Modi’s success in the elections and had said that the Kashmiri issue will be resolved if Modi wins the elections. Now everyone knows what Modi has done to Kashmir.

Chairman Bilawal said that it is said that government in Kashmir is always of the same party which has government in Pakistan. Now the PDM has announced a march against government on 26 March and people from all over Pakistan will march towards Islamabad and before the scheduled elections in Kashmir the prime minister will be sent packing. Imran Khan will not be the prime minister at the time of elections in Kasshmir and real representatives of people will be elected in Kashmir. Only the real representatives of Kashmiri people can solve problems facing them. He said that Imran Khan and Modi are at the same page. Both have incarcerated political opponents and both have press in chains. He said last year Maryam Nawaz was arrested when she was going to express solidarity with the Kashmiri people and when he was coming to Kashmir to express solidarity the PPP leader Ms. Faryal Talpur was also arrested from hospital at midnight.

Chair PPP said that we will not let this PM to compromise on the rights of Kashmiri people. The country is engulfed in hunger, poverty, unemployment, price hike and corruption due to prime minister Imran Khan. He said that now PDM will chase this PM out and will liberate people. In the end of his address, the chair PPP raised slogans like “meray vote pe daka na manzoor”, Kashmir pe daka na manzoor”, “Jamhoor pe daka na manzoor”, “dastoor pe daka na manzoor”.
