ISLAMABAD:
Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb taking a dig at Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said Pakistan Peoples Party media cell should have told the party’s chairman that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s name was not included in Panama Papers, while the Bhutto family’s name was included.

In a statement, the minister said that it was achievement of the PML-N government that those who could not organise public rallies during their own tenure were now holding public meetings openly.

Bilawal Bhutto flexes in tweets dedicated to mother


Bilawal on Sunday announced that Asif Ali Zardari will make his return to the country on December 23. 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.

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.”
