    This guy can’t even speak urdu. How is he going to communicate with soldiers?

    @ Hu Jintao: When the bereaved family has no objection on Bilawal’s arrival at their place, Why are you so agitated and concerned about Bilawal’s communication skills? It’s good for health to be unbiased for a change…

    Like a true crown-prince in a monarcy, ups “democracy”, he can at will order goverment officials to re-name buildings:

    “She said that on the directive of Bilawal, a government high school and a road would be named after Major Mirani.”

    Here i was thinking only elected officials could do such things after following proper legal procedure. That apparently doesnt exist in PPP’s twisted version of democracy. (Nawaz and PML-N are no better),

    PS: I do believe that Shaheed Major sahib, deserves this no doubt about. I’m just annoyed at Bilawal for trying to make cheap political points.

    @Ali Salman Alvi:
    It is certainly kind of Mr. Bilawal to visit a martyr’s family. However, one wonders as to whether it is based out of real sincerity or a political stunt to take up the new political position Mr. Zardari is creating for him? We can only hope that our apprehensions are misplaced but history of our politicians tells us otherwise.
