May 9 instigators should be punished: Faryal
”
KARACHI:
Pakistan Peoples Party Central Leader and President of the Women’s Wing, Faryal Talpur, has stated that May 9 is a black day in Pakistan’s history. Every Pakistani should condemn it, and those involved, as well as the instigators, should be punished.
Speaking in the Sindh Assembly, Faryal Talpur said, “We all agree that the events that occurred on May 9 should not have happened. I want to ask these people, how would you feel if a group entered your house and set it on fire in the presence of your family? Does our culture, our religion allow such actions?”
She said, “We talk about our pains because we have experienced them. When my brother, Asif Ali Zardari, was picked up, and I submitted a petition for habeas corpus in court, I remember the days when we went from court to court. I still remember the day when Bibi was martyred, and I was the District Nazim of Shaheed Benazirabad. We went to Garhi Khuda Baksh, and there was fire everywhere and tears in our eyes.”
Faryal Talpur said, “I ask, how would you feel if your sister was taken away on the holy night of Eid? My only crime is that I am Asif Ali Zardari’s sister and a humble worker of the Pakistan People’s Party.”
Faryal Talpur said, “PTI is not a political party but a cult. People’s minds have been poisoned, and the minds of our new generation have been corrupted.”
She said, “Our leaders and all of us went to jail, and we never complained. We didn’t resort to arson, we didn’t gather crowds, we didn’t provoke people, and we didn’t poison their minds.”
She said, “PTI will have to admit its mistake. They will also have to acknowledge that they have destroyed the economy of this country. We were born in this country, and we will die in this country. This country is who we are; otherwise, our identity is nothing.”
