KARACHI: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has voiced support for the 26th constitutional amendment, which he says will create a pathway to prevent the premature dismissal of prime ministers. Addressing the media in Lahore after a polo match on Sunday, Bilawal refrained from commenting on political matters but responded to queries regarding his absence from the Chief Justice’s swearing-in ceremony.
“I wasn’t in Islamabad for the ceremony as I chose to spend my weekend here. It’s my right to spend my weekend wherever I please,” he said. “The Chief Justice’s ceremony was well attended by others, but it’s a weekend, and I too deserve a break,” he added.
During the event, Bilawal praised the inclusion of female polo players in the tournament and expressed gratitude to Lahore’s administration for hosting what he called a “spectacular event.” He said, “It’s refreshing to see women playing alongside men in polo. PPP has always promoted such programmes.”
The PPP leader also highlighted the breast cancer awareness efforts being made at the tournament, which includes international participation.
“This month focuses on breast cancer awareness, and this tournament is helping spread a positive message worldwide,” Bilawal stated, encouraging young people to engage more actively in sports.
