Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said that they must prepare on war-footing to deal with climate change and to avert the upcoming floods.
Addressing the Sindh University convocation, the PPP chairman termed climate change the “biggest problem” of the world. Drawing their attention to the issue, Bilawal said that it was a significant threat to our future generations.
Referring to the 2022 “catastrophic” floods in Sindh, the PPP chairman said that people have to suffer huge losses when snow melts.
Addressing the students, the PPP chairman said that the new generation will have to make decisions for their future. He raised questions over prolonged load-shedding, adopting old and inefficient methods for energy generation and import of electricity.
He further said that attempts were made in the past to “control and censor you”. “Together we will have our digital bill of rights written.” He said that they have to raise their voice for their rights. Bilawal slammed internet slowdowns and restrictions in the country, calling them “another effort to control and censor citizens” amid his party’s tensions with the government. However, addressing the convocation ceremony, Bilawal said the issue related to internet restrictions needed to be addressed urgently.
“Our infrastructure used to be roads, highways motorways,” he said. “In today’s age, I believe it’s our bandwidth, our fibre optic cable, our wireless internet services.
