Bilawal said his party’s efforts for promotion and continuation of democratic process, struggle for achieving rights of people and elimination of poverty would continue unabated.
Bilawal Bhutto, who dashed to Peshawar on a week-long visit to organize the party’s structure at district and divisional level in the province, said the political issues could be resolved through a debate.

He asked the Elections Commission to withdraw its decision regarding deputing troops inside the polling stations for elections of provincial assembly in merged areas.
He said the PPP would continue its struggle for securing human rights of the people at every fora.
Bilawal said the opposition parties were united on the removal of Senate chairman.
They would bring their consensual candidate for the post and today's meeting of the Rahbar Committee was called for the same purpose.
