The PPP chairman said that Pakistan can no longer afford another martial law, adding that the future of Pakistan is linked to the supremacy of the constitution, independent judiciary and journalism.

Bilawal said that mother did not teach revenge, that is why he says that democracy is the best revenge. Benazir Bhutto’s life was spent to improve the future of Pakistan. The people of Pakistan have right to demand a better future.
