Chairman stresses need for burying ‘old-school politics’ to fix economy
PPP steers country out of crises: Gilani
Lahore(Tahir Chuhdary)_judicial murder and Lahore High Court was ‘crime scene‘: Laments that we consider it our success to send each other to jails: Calls upon politicians to bury old-styled politics of hatred.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has accused that the then judges of the superior courts were the killers of former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto,
The PPP chairman said: “We hope that after so many years, the courts will not only correct the mistake according to the law, but also correct the history, the judges will wash the blood stains of their hands”.
He said that he is grateful to all the judges, including Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa that the reference sent by former president Zardari 12 years ago is being heard and he hopes that after so many years, the Leader of the People would get justice.
He was addressing a ceremony arranged by the LHC Bar Association and held at the Javed Iqbal Auditorium in the Lahore High Court in connection with 50th Golden Jubilee of the Constitution of Pakistan on Tuesday.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has stressed the need to bury old traditional politics, stating that if we continue with the old politics, whoever becomes the prime minister will not be able to run the country.
“Until we make this decision, there will be no difference,” Bilawal added while addressing the Lahore High Court Bar Association on Tuesday.
The former foreign minister held the view that if politicians continued with old politics, whoever became the prime minister would not be able to run the country, and as a result, the economic challenges facing the country would not be overcome.
Bilawal recalled that the PTI founder used to say he would not talk to anyone; he used to say he would commit suicide rather than holding talks with thieves. “Perhaps, at the time, accusing others of theft was wrong.”
Bilawal said that he was thankful to all the judges, including Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa, for taking up the presidential reference sent 12 years ago by former president Asif Zardari seeking to revisit the trial that had led to the hanging of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB), the PPP’s founding chairman, and one of the country’s most popular prime ministers.

He hoped that justice would be served to the popular leader after so many years.
The PPP chairman said that the judges, through their decision, would not only cleanse the chequered history of the judiciary by providing justice to him, his family and party workers, but also make history by ensuring that such behavior should not occur with any prime minister.
Bilawal also expressed gratitude to the LHCBA for providing him another opportunity to address the legal fraternity.
