Punjab governor Sardar Saleem Haider Khan has claimed that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will become prime minister within a year or two.

Speaking at a public gathering in Pindi Gheb, Governor Haider praised the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), stating that no other party is better. He claimed that in other political parties, there is an air of arrogance, even among ministers and assembly members.

“I will always stand with the people on issues concerning their rights,” he said. “The entire nation stands with the Pakistan Army in the fight against terrorism. Our armed forces and security personnel are sacrificing their lives in this battle, and the PPP, along with the people of Pakistan, pays tribute to them. I will continue to support our institutions in the past, present, and future.”

The Punjab governor further stated that Pakistan, as the only nuclear power in the Muslim world, faces threats from all sides. "Pakistan remains intact because of its strong military," he added.

He also said that he is not in the habit of requesting funds for a few roads or minor projects. However, he assured that once Bilawal Bhutto becomes the prime minister, increased development funds will be allocated to Attock, which he claimed has been deprived of infrastructure projects.

"The youth of Attock have served in the military and sacrificed their lives for the country," he said.

A month ago, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari strongly criticised the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PMNL-N)-led federal government for making 'unilateral decisions without consulting its political allies', warning that such actions are causing unnecessary challenges for the administration.

In a speech at an event in the federal capital, Bila­w­al Bhutto underscored the importance of consensus-based policymaking, emphasising that Pakistan's political system thrives when the government listens to the people and collaborates with key stakeholders.

"Whenever the government makes decisions without consulting its allies or considering the public's wishes, it ends up complicating the situation for itself," he remarked.
