PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has backed PM Shehbaz Sharif’s call for a charter of national reconciliation.

Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, Bilawal congratulated the newly elected chief ministers of all four provinces and highlighted the need for them to play their role to save Pakistan’s “democracy and economy”.

He recalled that PM Shehbaz in his NA speech a day ago had offered to work on a charter of national reconciliation. “Not only do we endorse it but also appeal to our friends from the opposition that they take part in this process.”
