KARACHI, December 18: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has announced that Asif Ali Zardari will make his return to the country on December 23.
“Co-Chairman PPP Asif Ali Zardari will return to Karachi on December 23,” Bilawal said while addressing a press conference in Karachi on Sunday. “We are hopeful that Zardari’s return will help implement the four demands really soon,” he added.
Zardari went out of the country in June 2015, days after a surprising outburst, in which he said politicians were better suited to running the affairs of the country. “You are here for only three years,” he said in an apparent jab at the then army chief.
The PPP wants the enactment of the Panama Papers Inquiries Bill, 2016; implementation on the all parties’ conference’s recommendations pertaining to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor; a parliamentary committee for oversight of the National Action Plan and appointment of a full-time foreign minister.
“Politics is all about timing…I wanted Bilawal to come at the forefront for his political grooming,” Zardari had told local channel last month. “He’s doing very well now, and you will see me in Pakistan very soon.”
Earlier during the day, Bilawal urged the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz to not make the mistake of taking him lightly. Responding to those who target him for being too young, Bilawal cheekily admitted he was a ‘kid’. “The kid of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. “Be scared of me.”-Online
