The PPP will continue to stand by Pakistan’s religious minorities and support them against bigotry in the tradition of Benazir Bhutto, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Thursday.
In a statement marking the first anniversary of the assassination of PPP leader Shahbaz Bhatti, a member of the Christian community, Bilawal paid tribute to Bhatti’s dedication to democracy and the idea of a more tolerant and inclusive Pakistan.
“Pakistan was conceived as a homeland for Muslims where all religious and ethnic groups would live in peace and harmony. It is a tragedy that Quaid-e-Azam’s ideal of a pluralist nation has been distorted under dictatorship to spread an ideology of hate. It is this ideology of hate that took away from us a great public servant like Shahbaz Bhatti from us,” Bilawal said.
What impeccable timing and strength of leadership. I think we should all be proud of our Chairman.
