Ghizer – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has called on voters in Gilgit-Baltistan to give his party a “strong and clear majority,” saying it is essential to protect the region’s rights and accelerate development.
According to Beyond Time News, the PPP leader made the remarks while addressing a public rally in Ghizer as part of his ongoing election campaign ahead of the June 7 Gilgit-Baltistan polls.
Call for Overwhelming Support
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari urged voters to support the PPP “overwhelmingly,” stressing that a decisive mandate would help the party deliver on long-standing commitments to the region.
He said the PPP was not seeking power for political gain but to complete what he described as an unfinished development vision for Gilgit-Baltistan initiated by his family’s political legacy.
Focus on Rights and Governance
The PPP chairman said the next phase of progress in Gilgit-Baltistan depended on strong public support for his party.
He credited former president Asif Ali Zardari for earlier reforms, including the establishment of the legislative assembly, governor’s office, and chief minister’s position in the region.
Bilawal said further progress would depend on continued political stability and a strong PPP mandate in the upcoming elections.
Land Ownership and Development Promises
He reiterated his party’s commitment to resolving land ownership issues, saying the PPP had supported legislation aimed at securing rights over local land resources for residents.
Bilawal warned that without a clear majority, such reforms could be reversed or blocked by rival political forces.
Criticism of Rival Parties
Without naming opponents directly, Bilawal contrasted the PPP’s approach with other political parties, claiming that his party focused on job creation and development opportunities, while others had failed to deliver employment.
He also highlighted PPP-led initiatives in other regions, including housing programs for flood-affected families, as examples of the party’s governance model.
