QUETTA: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari urged the federal and provincial governments to resolve the issues of flood victims.
He was addressing a ceremony held in Quetta for the flood victims on Monday.
“The rehabilitation of flood victims was the part of agreement signed between the PML-N and PPP before forming the government,” said Bilawal.
He added that the flood victims of Balochistan are not getting their due rights as promised by the government.
The PPP chairman said that he has arranged the funding for the construction of homes for the flood victims. He said that the PPP also constructed homes for the flood victims of Sindh and it would also be followed in Balochistan.
According to Bilawal, the flood victims are homeless since 2022 and he is trying to give them their own shelter before the next flood.
Earlier, As the coalition government has yet to gain enough parliamentary strength for its contentious constitutional amendments, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reiterated his party’s firm stance to bring judicial reforms without accepting pressure from any side.
“This not possible that we do not accomplish a necessary task by succumbing to someone’s pressure,” said Bilawal while addressing an event of the Peoples Lawyers Forum in Quetta on Monday.
He claimed that the PPP was told to withdraw the recently proposed constitutional amendments or in another case, it should take back the 18th Amendment.
The PPP chief claimed that his party had achieved successes via 18th constitutional amendment, including by renaming Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP) as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province among others.
He said that the existing mechanism of judicial appointments was not in favour for the nation but only for judges. He stressed the necessity of reforms citing the existing procedure of appointments in the judiciary.
He further emphasised forming a parliamentary committee comprising the treasury and the opposition lawmakers to decide on judges’ appointment. Bilawal suggested that a judge would not be appointed if the recommended name fails to win a majority in the committee.
He went on to say that the country’s judicial system could not serve justice to the victims of terrorism and also highlighted the huge pendency of cases in the different courts. –Agencies
