Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has stated that Youm-e-Ashura serves as a powerful reminder of the timeless battle between truth and falsehood, justice and tyranny. Speaking on the occasion, he highlighted the supreme sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions in Karbala, calling it a guiding light for all who resist oppression. Bilawal emphasized that Imam Hussain’s stand against injustice remains a universal lesson in courage and righteousness.
He described the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) as more than a historical event—it is the soul of faith, representing unwavering resistance against cruelty. “Karbala teaches us never to submit to oppression, no matter how powerful the oppressor may seem,” Bilawal said. He urged the nation to reflect on these values and uphold the principles of justice and integrity in their lives.
The PPP chairman called for unity and mutual respect among all communities during Ashura observances. He stressed the importance of honoring the day with dignity, setting aside differences to embrace the message of peace and solidarity that Karbala represents. Bilawal emphasized that the tragedy of Karbala transcends sectarian lines and should inspire collective progress.
In his concluding remarks, Bilawal urged Pakistanis to draw strength from Imam Hussain’s legacy to build a society free from injustice, sectarianism, and fear. “Let us work towards a Pakistan where the values of Karbala—truth, sacrifice, and resistance against oppression—prevail,” he said. His statement resonated with calls for national unity and a renewed commitment to justice in the face of adversity.
