Paying glorious tributes to Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, the speakers termed the loss of lives of ZAB and BB an exceptional tremendous national loss of Pakistan. Strongly denouncing the judicial murder of ZAB and the brutal assassination of Benazir Bhutto the speakers further described the loss of the precious lives of Bhuttos, great loss to the nation and the country including Jammu & Kashmir but also to entire world in general and the Muslim ummah in particular.
The ceremony declared that ZAB and BB were the precious national asset. They were the prime symbol of national unity and harmony of Pakistan. "The great leader BB laid down their lives for the sake of the nation and the country by strictly following the mission and high democratic traditions of her late father Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who, the meeting declared, preferred to go to gallows instead of bowing before the dictatorial rule and the anti-democracy forces.
The speakers reposed full confidence in the leadership of President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari and Chairperson of the party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and vowed to continue the mission of ZAB and BB for turning Pakistan a true prosperous, developed and democratic state and for bringing the country at the path of democracy on permanent grounds.
