Speaking at a meeting with Barrister Aamir Hassan, member of the Pakistan Peoples Party’s Central Election Cell and central leader, and others at the Governor House, Lahore, the President said that the Pakistan Peoples Party has always been committed to the integrity and defense of Pakistan. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave a nuclear program to a broken Pakistan, while Mohtarma Shaheed gave missile technology.
He said that the 2013 PPP government further strengthened the Pakistan Air Force and even today we are strengthening Pakistan’s defense. The President further said that the dream of a united India of Hindutva people will never come true. We raised the slogan of Pakistan Khappa 18 years ago at the time of Bibi’s martyrdom. At that time, India tried to divide Sindh in order to weaken Pakistan, so even then I raised the slogan of Pakistan and said that Sindh is Pakistan and Pakistan is Sindh and all units of Pakistan are firmly under the control of the Pakistani army.
The President said that the Pakistan People’s Party wants to work for political stability in the country and that is why we are working together with the Muslim League-N in Punjab to provide relief to the people of Punjab and the people of Pakistan because strengthening the political system in Pakistan, strengthening democracy and dialogue and harmony between political forces are our goals.
The President said that we pay tribute to the armed forces of Pakistan and pay tribute to the martyrs.
