Says PPP has complete faith in parliamentISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari was elected unopposed as chairperson of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Human Rights on Tuesday. The PPP chairman said when he went abroad and raised his voice for Kashmiris, he was questioned about the status of human rights in Pakistan. “Democracy cannot function without human rights. If we cannot guarantee human rights then we cannot guarantee any other thing; we cannot guarantee the freedom of expression, we cannot guarantee access to healthcare, we cannot guarantee access to education, we cannot guarantee the rule of law, we cannot guarantee justice,” Bilawal stressed. He believed that the “canvas of human rights is very expansive”.
