Bilawal urged all political parties to work towards democracy and uphold the supremacy of the constitution, noting that other critical issues can only be addressed after achieving political stability.
He stressed that the opposition plays a vital role in ensuring political stability, as it should present itself as a democratic and legitimate political force.
Criticising the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for its protests and creating disorder in Islamabad, he pointed out that some political parties in Pakistan are not engaging in politics within the established political framework.
Bilawal added that it is crucial for politicians to resolve issues through dialogue.
He expressed his hope that both the government and the opposition will collaborate to establish political stability in the country, with the government taking on a greater share of the responsibility in this endeavor.
