KARACHI: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the patron-in-chief of the Pakistan Peoples Party, on Saturday slammed the Taliban for trying to drag the country back to the “stone-age.”

Addressing a gathering during the closing ceremony of a two-week cultural festival in his home province of Sindh, Bhutto also urged the country to rise up against the threats.

“The Taliban want to impose the law of terror in the country, but I want to tell them, if you have to live in Pakistan you will have to follow its constitution,” he said.

“We don't accept the law of terrorists,” he added. “Some people are trying to bring back the stone-age era in the country in the name of Islam.”

“The terrorists should think of the time when the whole nation will stand against them,” he said in Makli, around 100 kilometres north of Karachi.

“We are Muslims and the terrorist groups should not try to teach us Islam.”

Nearly 7,000 people have been killed in the insurgency by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) since it began in 2007, according to an AFP tally.

The start of 2014 has seen a surge in militant violence with more than 130 people killed.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government has been under fire from political opponents for failing to mount a strong response to the upsurge in attacks.

The government has for months said it favoured talks with the Taliban but 25-year-old Bilawal has spoken in favour of military action against them.

The Taliban's demands include the nationwide imposition of sharia law and an end to US drone strikes.

Former premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in December 2007 by the Pakistani Taliban after leaving a campaign rally of her Pakistan People's Party.

Her husband and Bilawal's father Asif Ali Zardari was president from 2008-2013.

 

[M. Sarmad]

One of the few rare species left in Pakistan who still have the courage to say no to the madness going all around here.

 

[Gautam]

Now I support him

 

[EasyNow]

Don't know much about his policies but people should be proud of this guy. So what if he is young, a bit rash and not all his ideas are fully formed yet - he makes a change from the ancient, corrupt dragons who run the establishment or the ancient, corrupt snakes who feed the extremists.

He seems like he could really be what everyone hoped IK would be - fresh blood with a clear, uncorrupted mind.

Just my opinion, but Pakistan would be a much better place if everyone was a bit more chilled out and focussed on the real issues like he is.

He is getting better at speaking. But hopefully he grows up to take his father and his cronies to court. Build schools.
