Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that his party will not negotiate with terrorists.
“The PPP will never talk to terrorists,” Bilawal said in his brief media talk in Dadu on Thursday. The PPP chairperson’s remarks are a shift from the stance the party had taken during the all parties’ conference, which had decided to negotiate with the TTP. “My mother, Benazir Bhutto, thousands of soldiers as well as a large number of PPP workers, have been killed by these terrorists. If they want to learn who is a martyr, they should learn from my mother and the army soldiers who sacrificed their lives for this country.”
Bilawal had earlier held a brief meeting with the party’s office bearers from Dadu. He also met the family members of a PPP worker, Shahjahan Qureshi, who was killed in Dadu during the election campaign in 2008. The PPP chairperson handed over a cheque of Rs500,000 to the family of the deceased.
