KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Wednesday called upon the PPP workers to renew their commitment and carry forward the founding mission of the party to the next generations and decades with same vigour.
In his message on the golden jubilee celebrations of the PPP’s Foundation Day being commemorated across the country on Thursday, the PPP chairman said he was proud of the party, its history, sacrifices and the accomplishments in the last 50 years life. “We lost our two chairpersons Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and thousands of workers during the five decades long struggle for the democratic rights of the down-trodden people,” he added.
Bilawal pointed out the PPP suffered more than any struggle for democracy in the contemporary world. From gallows to torture sales and public flogging, the PPP leaders and workers underwent every kind of misery and ruthlessness. “During 50 years, several individuals and groups were pumped into political bubbles but the parties so created primarily to harm PPP, eventually vanished or littered.
He said that PPP gifted the first-ever unanimous Constitution to the nation and laid foundations for an invincible, economically stronger and egalitarian Pakistan.
Golden Jubilee of the PPP is being celebrated at more than one hundred district headquarters all over Pakistan on Thursday, November 30. Party’s district organizations have chalked out elaborate programmes to celebrate the day and pay tributes to the founders and comrades of struggle. PPP workers will unfurl Party flags on their houses to commemorate the history day. A grand Jalsa has been scheduled at Parade Ground, Islamabad on December 5 where workers from all over the country will congregate to hear their young Chairman unfolding Party’s roadmap to next fifty years and beyond.
In a tweet related to the golden jubilee this week, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said, “We may not always live up to everyone’s expectations. However, having witnessed the conduct of other political parties this past week I have to say; could not be prouder of the Pakistan Peoples Party.”
PPP is the only Party in Pakistan, which introduced latest hologram technology in order to expand its outreach. Introducing hologram technology to address workers crowd in many cities at the same time, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said, “use of innovative technology is in line with our vision of seining a technologically-advanced Pakistan. We Are Trend Setters.”
Bilawal said that despite braving worst onslaughts, conspiracies and media trials by three dictatorial regimes and their puppets, the PPP was here to stay and continue to make history. In the struggle for a democratic and invincible Pakistan with an egalitarian society, we lost our founder Chairman Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and thousands of workers. “But the struggle is on and the convoy of democracy and downtrodden masses is still marching towards our mission,” he added.
