KARACHI, October 16: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has declared that he would set people free from ‘Takh-i-Raiwind’.
He was addressing the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) ‘Salam Shuhda’ rally in Lyari Sunday, in the memory of Karsaz incident martyrs.
The aggressive style of delivering speech that he often adopts during PPP rallies was also witnessed today. PPP Chairman disparaged not only the government but also Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leadership quite severely.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said that those who were speaking about the partition of Sindh are now separated themselves.
He strongly criticised his political opponents including the Mutahida Quami Movement (MQM) and said that a befitting response will be given to them in the upcoming by-elections. “The arrow is out of the bow and the string of the kite has been struck,” he said.
Bilawal said that Lyari is the stronghold of brave people who have risen against all forms of dictatorship. “Lyari was the second home of my mother and grandfather,” he said. He recalled that his parents wedding was held in Lyari and that he was also born there.
“I am the son of Lyari,” Bilawal told cheering crowds and said that despite all attempts Lyari remains the stronghold of the PPP. He decried that the peace of Lyari is spoiled under a conspiracy which they will restore them.
He paid tributes to the martyrs of Lyari who lost their lives for the sake of the party, and to the hardworking people of the impoverished area.
He also referenced to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan and said that “the captain has been tasked to hunt the lion”
The PPP is holding the Salam-e-Shuhada rally in Karachi to pay homage to the victims of Karsaz blast victims which is being led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah has termed the rally as the start of the preparations for the 2018 election. He said the party workers have the same determination and enthusiasm as in 2007 when they gathered to welcome Benazir Bhutto when the attack took place.
PPP leader Qamar-uz-Zaman Kaira, while speaking to ARY News said that the rally is a befitting response to their opponents, and is testament that the party is still present in the hearts of its members.
