PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said that his party is not seeking an electoral alliance with any party but is contesting elections on the basis of its own manifesto.

Speaking to Voice of America Urdu, he expressed hopes for political stability in the country and Pakistan moving in “a positive direction”

“Till where it’s possible, I hope elections are free and fair and a level-playing field is established,” he said.

“There needs to be more work on the democratic revolution in Pakistan, and that needs to start with politicians. They need to respect each other, and if they don’t, they can’t expect others to,” he said.

He added that politicians needed to keep politics as politics, and not let it translate into enmity. “We need to be tolerant of the fact that there will be differing opinions, but that should not lead to strong enmity,” he added.
