In December, Bilawal expressed similar sentiments about hateful narratives in politics while addressing a workers’ convention in Hyderabad. During the gathering, he advocated for an end to the practice of labeling each other as “traitors,” stating that the politics of hatred and division must come to an end.

During another occasion in November, the PPP Chairman stated that the “old system of politics” needed to be replaced with a new one, empowering young people to make decisions and lead the country towards progress.

Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari’s calls to end hateful politics come at a time when the nation is deeply divided along political lines, with workers and supporters of mainstream political parties labeling each other as “traitors” and “anti-state.” In these polarizing times, Bilawal’s emphasis on the need to bring civility back to politics is a welcome development. The upcoming election in Pakistan will take place against a backdrop of concerns about the state of the country’s democracy and human rights. Therefore, a mainstream political leader’s acknowledgment that the current political dynamics are flawed is noteworthy.

In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the NDM condemned the attack and noted that terrorism is on the rise in Waziristan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

“How will level playing field be provided to Chairman Mohsin Dawar in such a dangerous environment? We demand an immediate investigation into this attack. The local administration has to make security arrangements for the candidates. We demand the Election Commissioner to immediately call an emergency meeting regarding the security of candidates in Pakhtunkhwa,” the statement added.
