Lahore: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari this week emphasised the necessity of dialogue among political parties.

“If the political parties wouldn’t talk to each other, the problems would not be resolved,” stated Bilawal while addressing a seminar in Lahore.

Discussing the significance of the Zulfikar Ali Bhutto reference, the PPP chairman highlighted the imperative for judicial reforms and a transparent judges’ appointment process.

Terming the decision of ZAB reference historic, Bilawal stated,” The court accepted it as a judicial murder… there is a need for judicial reforms.”

He said that judicial reforms were included in the Charter of Democracy, adding that his party would complete the process.

Addressing the prevailing economic crises in the country, he stressed the importance of mutual dialogue among political parties for seeking viable solutions.

Bilawal also referenced a message of reconciliation sent by President Asif Ali Zardari to a politician who, according to him, “does not think beyond himself.” He criticised the transformation of this message into verbal abuse, labelling it as “the politics of hatred.”
