U.N. Human Rights award for Benazir

United Nations: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has asked the Pakistani youth to stay away “as far as possible” from the extremist interpretations of Islam and try to spread the message of peace.

He was receiving the U.N. prize in the field of human rights on behalf of his mother and slain Pakistani former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was among the seven international personalities honoured on the occasion of 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Wednesday. “The true interpretation of our religion is its message of peace,” he said after the ceremony. — PTI
