The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has reiterated its commitment to resolving the country’s serious political and economic problems, and pledged to continue its struggle for public rights and democracy, during a ceremony held today on the occasion of its founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s birthday.
This grand commemorative event, organized by the party’s district organization, was held at Wassan House, presided over by Nawab Ali Wassan, President of PPP District Khairpur and a former member of the National Assembly.
A large number of party office-bearers, workers, and supporters, known as “jiyalas,” from tehsils, union councils, and sub-organizations across the district gathered for this commemorative event.
In his address, Mr. Wassan described the late Prime Minister as not just a personality but the architect of an era, crediting him with empowering the country’s poor, laborers, and farmers by providing them with awareness and a constitutional identity.
He emphasized that Bhutto gave the unanimous 1973 Constitution, which is the foundation of federalism, democracy, and citizens’ rights in Pakistan.
The former MNA also praised Bhutto’s role in strengthening the country’s sovereignty, which included the honorable release of 90,000 prisoners of war from India and laying the foundation for the atomic program, which made Pakistan the first nuclear power in the Islamic world.
Mr. Wassan said that Bhutto had dreamed of a self-reliant and strong Pakistan, a cause for which he ultimately sacrificed his life.
He assured the audience that the PPP, under the leadership of Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is committed to the ideologies of its founder and the martyred Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and will continue its struggle on every front.
A birthday cake was also cut at the event, while supporters chanted sky-shattering slogans and reiterated their commitment to advancing Bhutto’s mission.
The participants paid rich tribute to the services of the martyred leader, and the event concluded with a special prayer for the country’s security, the survival of democracy, and public prosperity.
