Bilawal pays tributes to martyrs of Karsaz tragedy

ISLAMABAD: In a somber statement, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari honored the martyrs of the Karsaz tragedy, marking October 18 as a dark day in Pakistan's history. This was the day when a terrorist attack aimed to thwart the return of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto to her homeland. Yet, the Jiyalas who greeted her with open arms demonstrated their dedication to democracy by sacrificing their own lives, providing a powerful testament to their unwavering commitment.

Bilawal emphasized that the blood of the Karsaz martyrs serves as tangible proof that terrorism, extremism, and violence cannot undermine the resolve for democracy. Their sacrifices represent a heroic chapter in the nation's history, one that will never be forgotten by the people. He reiterated the mission of Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, which is the supremacy of the Constitution, the rule of the people, equality, social justice, and the construction of a peaceful, prosperous, and developed Pakistan.

Bilawal vowed that the PPP would continue its fight to strengthen democratic institutions, safeguard the Constitution, and uphold the rights of the people. He prayed for the martyrs' honorable legacy and patience and resilience for their families. By remembering the Karsaz tragedy, he renewed the pledge of democracy, perseverance, and sacrifice, which future generations will also adopt as their guiding light.

These sacrifices serve as a constant reminder that the struggle for the rule of the people and the preservation of democratic values will persist.
