Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Saturday arrived in Gilgit-Baltistan on a five-day trip, where he would address a public meeting at Polo Ground today (Sunday).
According to details, Bilawal will hold meetings with local leaders of his party and will address different corner meetings during the visit.
Talking to a private television channel, Bilawal House spokesperson Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said, “The PPP government gave constitutional rights to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan but later the rights were denied.”
He said that the PPP stood shoulder to shoulder with the people of Gilgit-Baltistan in their struggle for rights.
On May 27, Bilawal had said that giving powers of legislation to the bureaucracy in Islamabad and brazenly denying people their rights was an affront to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan that would have far reaching consequences for political stability.
