Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the nation needs the same spirit and unity that was on display in 1965 war to defeat the current threats—in the form of extremism and terrorism—the country is facing.
In his message on the eve of Defence Day, the PPP chairman said that a strong and invincible defence can only be ensured through national unity and cohesion.
He said that former prime minister Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gifted the nuclear programme, whereas his daughter former prime minister Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto gave missile technology programme.
