KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari presented on Sunday his party’s demands to integrate national unity in the country, as he addressed the ‘Salam Shuhda Rally’, in remembrance of the victims of a 2007 terrorist attack.

The PPP leader demanded of the government that the parliamentary national security committee be reconstituted, and called for implementation of former president Asif Zardari’s resolutions on the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He also urged for an immediate appointment of full-time a foreign minister in the country.

“If these demands are not met, I will announce long march against the government on December 27 in Garkhi Khuda Bakhsh,” Bilawal said.

Earlier, he vowed to free the masses from the shackles of ‘Takht-e-Raiwind’ — a veiled reference to the ruling Sharif family.

“Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is taking Pakistan towards devastation. I have changed Sindh and will bring a change to Punjab as well with the help of masses,” Bilawal said.
