Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has paid tribute to the victims of the Karsaz tragedy, describing October 18 as a black day in Pakistan’s history.
Bilawal said a terrorist attack targeted Shaheed Benazir Bhutto in a cowardly attempt to undermine her return to Pakistan. He said party workers who had gathered to welcome their leader sacrificed their lives while protecting her, demonstrating their commitment to democracy and the people’s right to rule.
The PPP chairman said the victims’ sacrifices showed that terrorism, extremism and violence could not weaken the nation’s resolve to uphold democratic values. He described their sacrifices as a significant chapter in Pakistan’s history that would always be remembered.

He reaffirmed that the PPP would continue its struggle to strengthen democratic institutions, protect the Constitution and safeguard the rights of the people.
Praying for the elevation of the victims’ ranks and patience for their bereaved families, Bilawal said remembering their sacrifices renewed the commitment to democracy, perseverance and public service.
He added that the victims’ courage would continue to inspire future generations and serve as a reminder that the struggle for public representation and democratic values must continue.
