The PPP Chairman said that Shaheed Benazir Bhutto was a universal figure and a people’s leader who promoted unity, harmony and progressive thinking in Pakistan and protected the political and economic rights of the people.

The gift of missile technology for the defense of our motherland by the first elected Prime Minister of the Islamic world, is also unforgettable.
Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that for democracy, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto lost her father, two brothers and even her mother. But she never feared the dictators. She kept fighting for democracy till the last hour of her life and in the end, achieved martyrdom.
Chairman PPP said that today is the day to make a pledge to eradicate terrorism and extremism from Pakistan, and to continue the struggle of strengthening democracy, supremacy of the Constitution and Parliament, and social equality.
