We’ve made history: Bilawal

Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the allies had made history by sending PM Imran Khan home.

“I would like to congratulate the whole nation and this House, as for the first time in the history of the country, a no-confidence motion has succeeded and we have made history,” said Bilawal.

Speaking on the occasion, the PPP chairman recalled what had happened on April 10, adding that on this day, the country approved the 1973 Constitution.

“On April 10, 1986, Benazir Bhutto ended her self-imposed exile and arrived in Lahore to launch her struggle against Ziaul haq,” said Bilawal.

The PPP chairman said that on April 10, 2022, the person who was declared “selected” by the Opposition and proved himself to be an “undemocratic burden” on the country saw the end of his rule.

“Today, on April 20, 2022, we welcome [you] back to the purana Pakistan,” said Bilawal.

The lawmaker from Larkana said that he had joined the National Assembly only three to four years ago, adding that whatever he has learned during this time is probably more than he had learnt throughout his life.

“I have a message for the Pakistani youth that they should never give up on their dreams as nothing is impossible. Democracy is the best revenge. Pakistan Zindabad,” said Bilawal.

PML-N, President Shahbaz Sharif stated late Saturday that the joint Opposition will not take revenge against their political opponents if they form a government in the Centre.

“…we thank everyone for their sacrifices, and now, once again, a Pakistan based on Constitution and law is about to come into existence,” the PML-N president told the National Assembly after Imran Khan’s ouster from the Prime Minister’s Office, hoping that the alliance moves the country towards progress.

Shahbaz stated that while this may be the first time in Pakistan that the country’s daughters and sisters have been imprisoned, he want to forget the past and move on.

“When the time comes, we will speak in detail, but we want to heal the wounds of the nation; we will not send innocent people to jails, and we will not take revenge,” Shabaz said, noting that the law will take its course without interference

“Neither I, nor Bilawal, and nor will Maulana Fazlur Rehman will interfere. Law will be upheld and we will respect the judiciary,” Shahbaz said, thanking Sadiq for chairing the historic session.
