In his maiden speech during a session of the newly elected National Assembly on Monday, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari endorsed the PTI’s call for a judicial inquiry into the May 9 riots.
He passed these remarks about Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur’s recent call for the formation of a judicial commission to probe the violent protests that erupted across the country following PTI founder Imran Khan’s arrest on May 9 last year.
“I call upon the chief justice Supreme Court of Pakistan (Justice Qaez Faiz Isa) to form [a judicial commission] and see who are the beneficiaries [of May 9],” Gandapur had said in a fiery speech after being elected the chief executive of KP.
Speaking on the floor of the lower house of the Parliament today, Bilawal said he endorsed Gandapur’s demand. But at the same time, he stated that everyone, including the Imran-led party, should accept the result.
