Pakistan People’s Party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Sunday claimed that no “selected prime minister” can fight for the Kashmir cause the way a “democracy friendly” premier can. Addressing a press conference in Skardu, Bilawal said there was no comparison between the military occupation in occupied Kashmir and the undermining of democracy and human rights in Pakistan.
Nonetheless, if Pakistan had been investing in democracy and a third “real [democratically elected] government” was in power, they could fight for the Kashmir cause with moral authority, he said.
“No selected prime minister can fight for the Kashmir cause the way a democracy-friendly prime minister can,” he said. Bilawal said it was important that he raises his voice for Kashmir at every possible opportunity while also seeing the reaction of the people.
He said that Pakistanis know that a “historic injustice” is taking place in occupied Kashmir and that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a murderer.
