Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that his party will thwart all alleged attempts aimed at preventing women from exercising their right to franchise during upcoming elections in Gilgit-Baltistan. Bilawal said Saadia is a follower of his late mother, former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and will win the election from Diamir because she is carrying the ideology of the great leader. “Now PPP wants to give the people of G-B their own province, right to rule, right to choose prime minister of Pakistan and the right to own property.”He said his mother introduced democracy in the region while his father former president Asif Ali Zardari gave identity to the people of G-B. Bilawal said like Sindh, his party will also introduce poverty alleviation programme in G-B for women and create employment opportunities for the locals. “Today people are being made unemployed in the country but the PPP will provide jobs to the people of G-B.
