In a statement on World Polio Eradication Day, Bilawal expressed hope that very soon Pakistan will become one of the polio-free countries of the world.
Further, he said, “It’s a matter of concern as a Polio case has been discovered in Sindh during this month so parents should give polio drops to their children.”
“A polio-free Pakistan was the dream of late Ms. Benazir Bhutto and to fulfill her dream, the political commitment and intentions of the People’s Party is strong”, he added.
Taking to the micro-blogging website ‘X’ formally known as Twitter, he gave a message to the public in order to make Pakistan a polio-free country.
It is pertinent to mention here that the first anti-polio program in the country was started by the late Ms. Benazir Bhutto who started the program by first giving polio drops to her daughter Asifa Bhutto Zardari.
Moreover, Aseefa Bhutto Zardari also marked the World Polio Eradication Day saying we have to ensure the eradication of this disease.
“The fight against polio has been going on for a long time, we should all work for polio-free Pakistan together and protect our children from this disease through regular vaccination”, she said.
