PPP protest rally at KPC against Indian aggression widely attended

KARACHI (May 7): Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, addressing the rally organised against Indian aggression, condemned India’s unfounded allegations against Pakistan following the Pahalgam incident and accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as the “Butcher of Gujarat,” of orchestrating the incident to divert attention away from his domestic failures.

The large protest rally organised by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) outside the Karachi Press Club in response to recent acts of aggression from India. The rally was attended by leaders of various political parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami, Awami National Party, and PML-Q office bearers, sending a strong message of national unity.

During his address to the gathering, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah condemned India’s unfounded allegations against Pakistan following the Pahalgam incident. He accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as the “Butcher of Gujarat,” of orchestrating the incident to divert attention away from his domestic failures.

“Within just ten minutes, Pakistan was blamed without any investigation,” Mr Shah stated. He emphasised that Pakistan has always been a victim of terrorism and has consistently offered international investigations into the matter from the outset.

The CM mentioned that Pakistan’s civil and military leadership had reached out to the global community, including the United Nations, offering full cooperation and mediation. However, India rejected these gestures for peace and instead launched nighttime attacks on six separate locations, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians.

“Our armed forces responded in a manner that forced India to wave the white flag within hours,” Mr Shah declared. “The Pakistan Air Force shot down five Indian aircraft and a drone. We held back only to avoid escalation; otherwise, not a single Indian jet would have survived.”

The chief minister insisted that this response was not an act of arrogance but a demonstration of the nation’s unity and resolve. He quoted PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, stating, “We are peaceful, but if our homeland is threatened, there will be no compromise.”

The chief minister proudly noted the presence of athletes who had recently defeated Indian boxers at the event, further boosting national morale.

“In just a few hours, representatives from all political parties stood united with our armed forces,” he concluded his speech, leading the crowd in passionate chants of `Pakistan Zindabad’.

The CM reaffirmed that if necessary, the nation’s 250 million citizens are prepared to sacrifice even the last drop of their blood for Pakistan.

Those who spoke on the occasion include the Local Govt Minister Saeed Ghani, ANP’s provincial Minister Shahi Syed, Jamaat Islami leaders, Senator-Elect Waqar Mahdi of PPP, Jamaat Islami and PML-Q leaders.
