A rudderless ship

Addressing his followers at Karsaz Karachi, Bilawal Bhutto said his party will continue to strive for an egalitarian and democratic Pakistan. Pakistan peoples Party's patron in chief, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, sent a message loud and clear to the terrorists that under his guidance, his party will continue to fight against terrorism and will also continue to criticize the political leadership which is busy in appeasing the murderers of over 50 thousand Pakistani citizens.
It is a manifestation of immense courage and resolve, for fighting extremism, from a person who lost his mother by the hands of same coterie of people who are still hungry for the blood of democratic political parties and individuals. He reminded all of us of the last speech by his mother Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi in which she had resolved to hoist Pakistani flag over Swat valley.
Terrorists are the same people who do not acknowledge and accept the Pakistani constitution and regard our political system as un-Islamic. Even then, some parties and their leadership are bent upon negotiating with them without even knowing what are they going to talk about. If they want bloodshed to stop then it will never be through negotiations. In history, no one has ever talked to murderers and monster who aren’t’ even humans let alone Muslims but now the apologists are craving for talks with the murderers of over 50 thousand Pakistanis. The political leadership of other parties should learn from this young leader and get together to fight this menace of terrorism and extremism.
