Have received many marriage proposals: Bilawal Bhutto

PPP chairman says he will marry a girl of his sisters' choosing

The young and single Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who recently returned from United Kingdom opened up on his marriage plans.

"I have received many marriage proposals but I have rejected all of them," Express News quoted the bachelor as saying. He added that he will marry a girl of his sisters' choice, "And the girl who my sisters choose will be lucky."



Bilawal was addressing the media in Obaro, Sindh, where he further said that any girl who wishes to marry him will face difficulties.

Reactions

Reacting to Bilawal’s remarks about marriage, Speaker National Assembly and PML-N leader Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said it was good that the PPP chairman had decided to marry. Sadiq, however, said that a decision in this regard must be difficult to make as there are a lot of choices.

Similarly, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan leader Rauf Siddiqui advised the Bhutto family scion to marry a girl of his choice. “Bilawal should marry the one he loves or the one he likes, or else he is destined to face a lot of issues in life,” he remarked.

‘Will march against rulers if Panama issue is not resolved’

Meanwhile, addressing an informal gathering of the party workers, Bilawal warned to launch a protest march against the rulers if they attempted to leave the Panama leaks issue unresolved. “In that case, this will be the last government of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.”

The PPP chairman, however, made it clear that his protest march would be democratic, adding that PM Nawaz should benefit from the opportunity and approve his demands for probing the scandal.

Bilawal also hinted at a ‘working relationship’ with Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, saying the two can work together if the latter’s intentions are clear. “We intend to work with politicians with a clean history.”

Last week, Bilawal addressed his emotional press conference and people’s harsh reactions to it, saying he hopes his critics never experienced the pain he has experienced.

“To those who don’t appreciate my tears; I pray u never have to experience the pain I’ve experienced, I pray u never have to shed such tears,” he said in a tweet.



Bilawal broke down in tears as he spoke about his late mother, Benazir Bhutto, during a visit to inquire after injured victims of the police training centre attack in Quetta last month.

“My family and the people of Balochistan share the same pain… I am no ordinary politician. I am the son of Benazir Bhutto. I am also a victim of this terrorism,” he said.
