He landed at the Jinnah International airport in Karachi after flying back from Dubai.
Bilawal had left for Dubai on March 26 amid reports of a rift with President Zardari and Faryal Talpur over the party’s stance on several key issues including militancy, sectarianism and the awarding of party tickets for the upcoming general elections.
Dispelling rumours of a rift with her nephew Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Faryal Talpur, sister of President Zardari, said on Sunday that the scion of the Bhutto family was on a routine visit abroad and would return to Pakistan in the next couple of days.
Speaking at a news conference at the president’s camp office in Naudero, Talpur ruled out differences with Bilawal.
Bilawal is now expected to take part in functions observing Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s death anniversary on April 4.

@Green Tiger:
As we see it, the Tsunami is too busy focusing on Sharifs, doesn't really pose a real threat in Sindh or South Punjab so far does it?!
The thing bilawal knows is that people of pakistan love him and will come out In millions for him.He is an asset for pakistan. He has instant recognition all over the world Imran khan is a political,comedian who is liked by new wanna be elite, the news paper and talk show watching people who think they are the best
@Sadia:
I do :)
@Rashid: we already have many young ppl from within pak we dont need that guy who dosent know anything about pak and its ppl !
I have never seen him say or do anything other than raising his hands in the air. As if , raising your hands is the only requirement to become a prime minister of Pakistan.
Billion dollars democracy back
Who cares!
Now lets match begin. It is about time for PPP to enter in the poltical arena with both hands free.
He has come back because only this country named Pakistan is full of fools who will let him do whatever he wants and get away with it. This is the only country in the entire universe, not just world where there is No Government, No Rule of Law and No Accountability. They talk about North and South divide. Well Pakistan is beyond that Divide.
I guess both - Bilawal leaving due to a rift and coming back to take part in political campaign - are good news for Pakistan. First is good news because he is expected to play a major role in Pakistani politics few years from now so if he is unhappy from the poor policies of his party (as it was said) then it is a great news. Secondly, many people may say he is yet another extension of family politics but he is a young energetic person with an Oxford degree. Today we need people (young blood) like him to come up and lead the way ahead. A hope for a better Pakistan!!
PPP stated that it is due to security that Bilawal went to Dubai So what happened in 3 days that the security issue in now resolved? In other words his coming back confirms that there was tiff within the family and not a mere speculation.
his "coming back" so abrubtly to quash rumours will give birth to another round of rumours! fishy fishy!!!
One has to be either naive or gullible not to see this stupid sympathy play they play with the people. Really, what has this party done for the country except mega corruption in all fields., Just look at their record and lets not forget the record and the deeds of their last so called PM. It is high time that Pakistanis understand that this sympathy card has been played for too long. Now is the time to dump all these dynastic families and their collective corrupt politics.
april fool
Welcome back, jeeay bhutto
HH Bilawal Zardari: Thank you for pushing us into darkness and stone ages. Your party did a "wonderful" and "unforgettable" task for the last five years. We deserve "leaders" like yours. Absolutely, "domocarcay is the biggest revenge" ..
We reamin, Your Failthful Kummee Servants.

Yawn...who cares. Topi drama.
Bilawal won't be able to stop IK's tsunami.
Welcome back home.

Pre-planned media hype

They need these anniversaries to keep their party alive.Thats the only thing they have done the past five years.
