Stressing that PPP can not see the people of Pakistan suffering anymore, Bilawal said that only his party can save this country as he asked the party's provincial leadership and workers to gear up to take part in the agitation against the sitting government.

Remembering his mother, Bilawal said that it has been 14 years but we still miss Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.

Referring to Benazir Bhutoo he said, "Shaheed Bibi, your Pakistan is in turmoil, there is no freedom of speech, life or even breath."

"We fulfilled Shaheed Benazir Bhutto's 30-year struggle for the restoration of the 1973 constitution by introducing the 18th amendment and transferring all the powers to parliament," Samaa TV quoted Bilawal as saying. (ANI)
