"اس لاہور ہائی کورٹ میں انصاف کے بجائے ایک قتل ہوا جس کے ذمہ دار آمر ضیاء الحق سے لے کر ہائی کورٹ، سپریم کورٹ کے ججز اور تمام وکلاء، سیاستدان، اور بیوروکریٹس ہیں جو اس نانصافی میں سہولت کار بنے۔ لیکن میں چیف جسٹس فائز عیسی کا شکر گزار ہوں کہ انہوں نے 12 سال بعد اس ریفرنس پر… pic.twitter.com/5ZqTRrtlZX

Bilawal said that it is generally believed that the murderer always comes back to the crime scene, but our (Bhutto family’s) two affected generations have been coming to the Lahore High Court to seek justice. “It was a judicial murder and we are still looking at this Lahore High Court as a crime scene,” said Zulfikar Bhutto's grandson maintained.
"دیگر سیاسی جماعتوں میں جو تربیت کی جاتی ہے کہ میرے ہو تو اچھے ہو ورنہ غدار اور کافر ہو، تو ہم ایسے ملک نہیں چلا سکتے، میں کسی سے ذبردستی جئے بھٹو کے نعرے نہیں لگوا سکتا لیکن میں اتنی امید رکھتا ہوں کہ ہم دونوں ایک دوسرے کو محب وطن مانیں۔ میں لیڈر سے نظریاتی اختلاف رکھ سکتا ہوں… pic.twitter.com/l1U7dmiDaz

The PPP chairman said: “We hope that after so many years, the courts will not only correct the mistake according to the law, but also correct the history, the judges will wash the blood stains of their hands”.
He said that he is grateful to all the judges, including Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa that the reference sent by former president Zardari 12 years ago is being heard and he hopes that after so many years, the Leader of the People would get justice.
"آج آئین کی گولڈن جوبلی میں فخر سے نہیں منا رہا لیکن میں چاہتا ہوں کے جب ہم اگلے پچاس سال بعد یہ تقریب منائیں تو ہم فخر کے ساتھ منائیں اسی لیے میں نوجوانوں سے کہنا چاہتا ہوں کہ میں یا کوئی بھی آپ کو بے وقوف بنانے کی کوشش کرے آپ انکی بات نہ مانیں۔"

He said that there is polarization in politics in Pakistan at the moment. He was of the view that we should bury the old-styled politics of hatred.
Bilawal said, “We consider it our success to send each other to jails. By abusing each other, we are doing politics. Some people want to become Amirul Momineen and some others want to run the country with Tiger Force.”
Referring to the founder of PTI, the PPP scion said: "The ex-PTI chairman used to say that he would commit suicide, but would never join hands with thieves. Political differences should remain political. We have turned politics into enmity in the country. The founder of PTI introduced the politics of vengeance and division.”
Bilawal said that the economic crisis which is engulfing the country right now has never been seen before. He said that the economic teams that came after the PTI government could not control the crisis. But, at the same time, the young leader expressed his optimism that if not today then tomorrow ‘we will get out of this problem’.
Bilawal Bhutto said that Palestinians are facing aggression nowadays. He said that the Quaid-e-Awam (Zulfikar Ali Bhutto) tried to unite the Muslim Ummah. He said when ZAB was the country’s prime minister, he summoned the OIC meeting in which it was decided to impose an oil embargo on the West in order to stop the Palestinian people’s repression by Israel.
