Bilawal takes on PML-N, PTI over Benazir bashing

Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has strongly criticised the ruling PML-N and the PTI for attacking Benazir Bhutto a decade after her martyrdom.

In a message posted on micro-blogging social media platform, Twitter, the PPP chairman said: “#NakaamLeague and #NainshafLeague still attacking SMBB a decade after [her] martyrdom. Jyalas remain calm. Let them do politics, we serve #Bhuttoism.”
Bilawal urged PPP supporters to remain calm and follow in the footsteps of the late Benazir Bhutto. He reminded the PPP detractors that Benazir Bhutto could never be compared or equated to ‘cowards’.
“The PML-N could not even face a day of dictatorship, and went packing with their handbags,” he maintained.
He warned his opponents, saying, “…as a flaming red line. Cross at your own risk. Remember, Meh Mir Aur Shah Ka Bhanja Bhi Hoon (I am the nephew of Mir Murtaza Bhutto and Shah Nawaz Bhutto).”
Meanwhile, Bilawal has nominated Dr Asim Hussain as PPP Karachi Division president, Saeed Ghani, PPP Karachi general-secretary and Shehla Raza information secretary.
He also nominated Ali Madad Jattak as PPP Balochistan president, Iqbal Shah, general-secretary; Humayun Khan as PPP Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa president and Faisal Karim Kundi, general secretary.
Talking to the media in Karachi, Dr Asim Hussain said: “The position of Karachi division president is a surprise for me,” adding, “all cases (against me) are fabricated.” The PPP leader said he would try to reorganise the party in Karachi after his release.
Also, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Syed Khurshid Ahmed Shah has underlined the need for continuing the policies pursued by General Raheel Sharif; “otherwise, the country would face huge losses”.
“Gen Sharif took charge of his responsibilities in a very difficult situation, but he successfully fought against terrorism in the country,” the opposition leader said while talking to the media after condoling with the family of Jahangir Badr over his death.
Shah said the government should appoint the senior-most general as the next chief of army staff instead of going for a pick and choose policy.
Criticising PTI Chairman Imran Khan, he said, a consensus was developed among all opposition parties in the all parties conference that if the Panama Papers Bill would not sail through parliament, all political parties would launch an agitation campaign.
“But Khan had announced a lockdown of the federal capital.” Shah said Khan’s actions were strengthening the hands of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
