DAVOS: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-Chairman on Saturday said that Pakistan needs a progressive voice to eliminate politics of hate and mudslinging by major political parties within the country.
Talking to India Today, Bilawal said that PPP has always endorsed a progressive political framework, which he termed as ‘the way forward.’
“PPP has always been a progressive party in Pakistan. That’s the way forward. That’s the kind of politician I want to be,” said Bilawal.
Talking about the relationship between India and Pakistan, Bilawal said that a one-way approach would not solve issues and that reservations of both the countries should be discussed.
“India and the rest of the world think that they can just dictate Pakistan and that’s not how a partnership works or is built. We need to have a discussion over reservations of both countries with each other,” he added.
Bilawal also said that his mother and former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s mission to serve the people of the country motivated him to choose politics.
“My mother was assassinated for opposing extremists. I did not choose a life in politics. It chose me. I sleep, eat, and breathe politics now and find great solace in working towards goals my mother was striving for all her life,” the PPP leader said.
