Former prime minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Yousaf Raza Gilani has promised Kashmiris to become their voice on the global stage in line with the vision of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto.
Addressing a public gathering in Dhirkot, Yousaf Raza Gilani addressed the masses and stated that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) never compromised on Kashmir despite all odds. The PPP leader was addressing the public on behalf of the party’s Chairman Bilawal Bhutto as part of the electoral campaigns of 2021 in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Reminiscing PPP’s struggle and commitment for Kashmir, the opposition leader in Senate noted that Shaheed BB had a strong commitment to Kashmir cause, and It was in 1990 that she declared February 5th to be declared as Kashmir solidarity day. The PPP leader said that Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto never compromised on Kashmir despite the odds. Recalling the events of the 1972 peace conference at Shimla, Gilani said that despite the pressure and the then Indian Prime Minister Indra Gandhi’s push for Bhutto to sign on the dotted lines, the PPP’s founding leader refused to bow down.
