Islamabad: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Umar Rehman Malik said this week that PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari enjoys massive public support.
“The post-election victory celebration rally in Thatta was truly remarkable and a testament to the unwavering support for the PPP. Both before and after the elections, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s dynamic leadership has resounded across the country, igniting the spirit of the people,” he said.
Umar Rehman Malik added: “The enthusiastic participation of the people symbolized their profound trust in PPP’s vision and manifesto. The massive crowd in Thatta not only reaffirms the people’s unwavering confidence but also rejects GDA’s opposition against the enduring legacy of PPP.”
Earlier, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari declared that former president and party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari would be the PPP’s nominee for the presidency, vowing that Zardari would bring unity to the country and address the pressing issues facing its citizens.
Speaking at the rally in Thatta, Bilawal emphasised Zardari’s potential role in extinguishing the “fire of hatred” and safeguarding the nation’s unity, particularly in light of the PPP’s recent electoral success, notably in Sindh province.
“I had no stubbornness to sit on the prime minister’s chair. I contested for you, for my people,” Bilawal stated, highlighting the challenges Pakistan faces, including inflation reaching record levels and the prevalence of divisive politics.
PPP chairman urged fellow politicians to prioritise the interests of the people over their own, lamenting the detrimental impact of self-serving politics on the federation and its provinces.
“All political parties should ponder over Pakistan’s future rather than their individual gains,” he remarked, addressing the ongoing protests against election results and the prevalence of rigging allegations.
Regarding the PPP’s approach to addressing grievances, Bilawal outlined the party’s commitment to resolving issues through appropriate channels, including the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), courts, or Parliament, before resorting to protests.
