Bilawal Bhutto says students' spirit of activism truly inspiring

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Friday paid tribute to the new generation of students for their spirit of activism by describing it as 'truly inspiring'.

"The PPP has always supported Student unions. The restoration of student unions by SMBB was purposely undone to depoliticize society. Today students are marching in the #StudentSolidarityMarch for the restoration of unions, implementation of right to education, 1/2," he tweeted. 

"End to privatization of public universities, implementation of sexual harassment legislation, right to student housing & the demilitarization of campuses. The spirit of activism and yearning for peaceful democratic process from a new generation of students is truly inspiring. 2/2," he tweeted. 

Thousands of Pakistanis across the country are taking to the roads to demand reinstatement of student unions, demilitarization of campuses and increasing the education budget to 10 percent.
