QUETTA: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that he wants the powers in the country to mainstream victims of terrorism not banned organisations.
Speaking to the media here in Quetta on Tuesday while visiting the families of those killed in the Hazarganji blast last week, he said it is unfortunate that even os much blood has flown, the state cannot decide if its with the martyrs or the terrorists. “The government has to decide. For how long will they continue with their double standard?” Bilawal said.
The PPP chairman continued, “No one can fight extremism alone but we have to decide for the future. We need to fight this extremist mindset. When we ask for justice we are called an enemy of the state. When I speak against banned organisations, I’m branded an enemy of the state.”
“Are we the enemy of the state or those banned organisations that are killing our children,” Bilawal questioned.
He added he has a message for the powers in the country that if they want to bring mainstream anyone, it should be the victims of terrorism, not banned outfits.
Bilawal further said he is also the son of a martyr and that he will not sit quietly until he has rid the country of terrorism. “My entire political career will be for eradicating terrorism so that we can live peacefully in this country.”
