According to the message issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House, the PPP chairman said that while the outgoing year brought challenges, it also reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s unity and resilience. He paid rich tribute to the valour of the Pakistani armed forces for inflicting a humiliating defeat on the enemy during the Indo-Pak conflict in May 2025, saying that the victory protected national sovereignty and strengthened the bond between the people and their defenders. Bilawal Bhutto said the New Year must be dedicated to dialogue, reconciliation and healing, as political stability is the foundation of economic recovery, development and public welfare. He stressed that the nations progress when differences are resolved through democratic institutions. Reaffirming the PPP\u2019s unwavering commitment to democracy, constitutional supremacy and social justice, he said the PPP continues to follow the vision of Quaid-e-Awam Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto &#8212; a vision centred on people\u2019s power, dignity and equality.
