| Bilawal, now 25, 'keen' to enter active politics |
| 2013-09-22 |
| [Dawn] Now eligible to contest general election after turning 25 on Saturday (today), PPP patron-in-chief Bilawal Bhutto is reportedly keen to jump into the political arena unlike his father and former president Asif Ali Zardari's statement that the scion of the Bhuttos is more interested in following higher studies at present. But the million dollar question is whether he will be able or allowed to run the party after formally entering the political arena? Bilawal has completed his graduation (honours) in Contemporary History and International Politics from the Oxford University. These days he is learning the Urdu and Sindhi languages and spends his time in London, Dubai and Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... . The PPP has given no timeframe when Bilawal would take the party's rein. Mr Zardari had told journalists the other day that his son wanted to pursue further studies before entering practical politics. However, nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits... Bilawal's secretary Hasham Shiekh told Dawn on Friday that Mr Bilawal had completed his studies and at present he was keen to take part in active politics. "Mr Bilawal will fill the communication gap with the party workers in days to come," he said. Bilawal had not headed the May election campaign despite calls from the PPP candidates, especially in Punjab, to address their rallies triggering rumours that he had developed differences with his father and aunt Faryal Talpur over running the party affairs. The PPP quarters concerned had denied such reports. Still some PPP leaders believe that Bilawal will have no role in politics and party affairs for another five years or so. "Mr Zardari will run the party and Bilawal will be groomed further," a PPP leader from central Punjab told Dawn. |
