ISLAMABAD -UNS: Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Pakistan’s foreign policy is intact and in place. Talking to media in Parliament House in Islamabad ,he said nuclear and missile technology are the gifts to the Pakistani nation from Shaheed Quaid e Awam Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. Pakistan Peoples Party will never trade on the issue.
On the question of him attending President Trump’s inauguration, Chairman PPP said that this was the news on the media and one should ask this question to the media.
He said, he will go to attend the breakfast event and for the PPP this has continued for a long time. I don’t have an official position so I do not have any program to hold official meetings with US authorities. I intend to meet Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’s friends.
On the question of the PPP joining the government he answered in the negative. Responding to a question, regarding PECA he said that, it is on record we opposed PECA ordinance at the time of PTI’s government. That opposition was not just for the sake of opposition as we had given our suggestion and input in that legislation which was included.
The final proposed draft of the bill shows that the PPP continuously remained engaged with the government and brought several amendments which have improved the law more than before. There are other political parties as well and if they want to give any suggestions they can do so. This is the way to give your party’s point of view in the parliament. The PPP thus does not have a majority to legislate according to its wishes but with the numbers we have in the parliament we can play our positive role.
