At Ghizer rally, Bilawal urges voters to give PPP ‘heavy mandate’ to safeguard region’s rights

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Thursday urged Gilgit-Baltistan voters to give his party a “heavy” mandate by securing a majority in order to safeguard the region’s rights.

Bilawal was addressing a rally in Ghizer, amid a series of rallies across GB as the PPP and other political parties have, over the past few days, ramped up efforts to garner support ahead of the polls.

Of other political parties in the running, he said some had served as prime minister, while he himself had not yet had that opportunity. He said he wanted a “heavy majority in GB — not for me, but for you” so that together they could complete Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s and Benazir Bhutto’s “incomplete” mission in the region.
