QUETTA: The President of Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) and former President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has said that Balochistan is the heart of Pakistan, and it is very important to win this heart, and reaffirmed his resolve that he would, by bringing the entire nation together, make Pakistan a great country. He also urged that if Pakistan is to become an exporting country, Balochistan has to be supplied with water.
Addressing the grand public meeting organized on the occasion of the party’s 56th foundation day in Quetta, the former president said that Pakistan is rich in all virtues. He furthered that Pakistan is not weak, and added: “a nation does not rise by itself, it is led and raised by leaders. He said that when he was in prison, people often asked him what his activities were? “So I used to answer them that I dream for Pakistan,” he added. He said that each and every one of the nation should work together to make Pakistan in real sense a Pakistan. “(Such a Pakistan) as ‘Quaid-e-Awam’ used to say that to make this country a great country, we have to emerge as a great nation on the map of the world,” he added.
President PPPP said that individulas sitting in Islamabad do not see that Balochistan is the heart of the country, but PPP sees (without doubt) that Balochistan is the heart of the country. “Today I want to tell everyone that there is a great sadness and sorrow spread inside the land of Balochistan, and we have to put ointment on it. We put some ointment during our time, but it is not enough,” he said.
President Asif Ali Zardari, while addressing the people of Balochistan, said: “PPP wants to make you the owner of your land, whatever is in Balochistan is yours. Everything is yours, be it gas, petrol or any other mineral. I also have to deliver water to Balochistan. We have always served Balochistan.” He said that if Pakistan is to be transformed into an exporting country, water must be supplied to Balochistan (for agriculture). Talking about the fertility of the agricultural land of Balochistan, he said that the lands of Balochistan are more fertile than other parts of the country.
President Asif Ali Zardari said that his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, as the youngest foreign minister of the country, has brought Pakistan’s name to light everywhere in the world. “Earlier some people knew him (Bilawal Bhutto Zardari) because of his mother, some people knew him because of his maternal grandfather and some people knew him from my reference. But now, Alhamdulillah, he has a distinct identity of his own,” he added. He said that now we have to support Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in every season and in every era, and added: “We have to make Bilawal the leader of today and tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, in his response to chants of “Wazeer-i-Azam, Bilawal (Prime Minister Bilawal)” by workers at the gathering, President Asif Ali Zardari recited the Urdu poem “Zabān-e-Khalq Ko nNaqqāra-e-Khudā Samjho” (the voice of the people is the voice of God), adding that Inshallah, that time will come, soon.
