In a press release issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House, Chairman PPP expressed his heartfelt condolences and paid homage to the Jiyalas, the dedicated workers of PPP, as well as activists from other parties, who either lost their lives or suffered during the tragic events of May 12, 2007.

Furthermore, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari called upon all political stakeholders to unite with the spirit of harmony and reconciliation. He stressed the imperative of burying the politics of hatred, division, and violence, and instead, embracing a path that led towards a brighter and more prosperous Pakistan. “As we commemorate this solemn anniversary, let us honor the memory of those who sacrificed their lives on May 12, 2007, by renewing our commitment to building a nation founded on principles of peace, tolerance, and democracy,” he concluded.
