Bilawal Bhutto set to ‘tie the knot next year'

PPP leader Manzoor Wassan also predicts about the party chairman's premiership and Nawaz Sharif's 'imminent return'

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari will get married next year or in 2023, party's leader Manzoor Wassan has said.

Wassan, who is known for his political predictions, also said: "While [Prime Minister] Imran Khan's future doesn't look good; Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari will get married expectedly in 2022 or 2023 after he will become the prime minister."

Making some more predictions, the PPP leader said, "I don't think Nawaz Sharif will be returning to the country before March 2022."

On the recently held crucial Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa local bodies elections, he claimed that Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman won't get the same share in the polls as he did in its first phase.

Turning his guns towards PM Imran-led ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the veteran politician said: "Sindh is facing an injustice and the Centre wants to create a shortage of fertilisers in the province."

He went on to say that "our quota of fertilisers has been reduced and our share is being smuggled to other provinces."

According to Wassan, the fertiliser-producing companies are subordinates to the Centre, adding, "We have established check-posts to curb Sindh's share from being smuggled."

This isn't the first time that the rumour of the Bhutto family scion's marriage is being spoken about. In 2016, while responding to a reporter, Bilawal said, “The right candidate will first have to win over the hearts of my sisters."

He further said, "I have to take them into confidence. And winning over the hearts of my sisters is a very difficult task for any girl."

Flanked by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and other senior leaders, he had said: “The girl whom my sisters choose will also be lucky. It will be a difficult task for the girl who wants to marry me.”
