Bilawal Bhutto pays tribute to Quetta victims

Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari paid homage to the martyrs of the Quetta tragedy and said that it was one of the worst and darkest events in the history of our country. It was a vicious conspiracy against Balochistan and against the activists.

On August 8, 2016, 73 people, including 56 lawyers, were killed in a terrorist attack in Quetta, including two media cameramen.

In a statement issued on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Quetta tragedy, PPP chairman said that the grief and anguish of the Quetta tragedy is still fresh in our hearts today and it’s a grief that the entire country will never forget. The brutal killing of innocents is unforgivable.

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that it is unfortunate that the people in Balochistan are killed every day. The martyrs of the Quetta tragedy were murdered for the first time when this tragic incident took place. But by not implementing the recommendations of Justice Faiz Isa Commission of Inquiry into this tragedy, injustice is being done to these martyrs every day. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the right wing parties imposed on the country as a result of rigging have been obstructing the implementation of the National Action Plan including the recommendations of Justice Faiz Issa Commission of Inquiry. “There is still time to implement the National Action Plan to protect the lives and property of the people and to eradicate terrorism and extremism in the true sense of the word,” he stated.

The PPP chairman assured the families of those who lost their loved ones as a result of terrorism across the country that Pakistan Peoples Party will not tolerate terrorism and extremism and will do all that it can to eradicate the ill from the entire country. “PPP is the name of the people’s resistance against all forms of terrorism and extremism in the country,” said Chairman PPP. “The promotion of tolerance and equality is the manifesto of the Pakistan People’s Party.”

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari further said that no one can understand the pain of losing their loved ones as a result of terrorism better than me.
