TANDO MOHAMMAD KHAN: Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Monday said that the country did not succeed in counter terrorism efforts because of non implementation of National Action Plan (NAP).

He said the first line of defence against terrorism is province’s history, culture, Sufism and education.
Bilawal said the PPP was waiting supreme court verdict in Panama case and after that he and his father Asif Ali Zardari would decide about going to the parliament. He said they are preparing for the next elections and focussing on reorganisation of the party in this connection. He however opined that if we see history, we do not expect that the decision would go against Sharifs.
Replying to a question, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that Irfanullah Marwat just had a meeting with Asif Ali Zardari and no decision was taken about his joining the PPP. He said PPP is a democratic party and welcomes criticism and suggestions from all sides.
About difficulties being faced by the people of interior Singh for going to major cities for treatment, the PPP chairman said people across the country are facing multiple problems and they want to provide relief to the masses and for this purpose the PPP is focussing on infrastructure development.
