PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has appealed to all the political parties of the country to “stay within the system” and work for the country’s betterment.

“But if we want to move ahead like this and spread this division of hate and politics, where someone tries to divide you along religious lines, then someone else would try to divide you along ethnic lines and someone else will try to divide through sectarianism,” he said.

Bilawal also challenged Pir Pagara and Maulana Fazlur Rehman to bring all their Form 45s to him and if proven wrong, he would contest polls against them the next day.

“I have won two seats out of which I will vacate a seat for by-elections,” he said. “How about you come and contest against us on that seat? Let’s see what your worth is.”
