The PPP leaders are on a private visit to the holy land where they performed umrah.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Sindh Assembly member Syed Owais Muzzaffar attended the ceremony of the washing of the Kabah. On the occasion, the special door of the Holy Kabah was also opened for the leaders and Bilawal and Owais offered prayers along all the four sides of the Holy House and prayed for the prosperity of the country.
These days, the PPP chairman and Owais Muzzafar are in Saudi Arabia on a private visit where they performed Umrah without any official protocol.
Lately the Kabah’s caretaker Shaikh Abdul Qadir al Shaibi had also visited Pakistan and conducted special prayers for the well being and success of Owais Muzzaffar in the Sindh Assembly’s Chief Minister Chamber.

bilawal looks like he's had a rough night....
Holy ablutions: Bilawal, Owais at the Kabah washing ceremony.
Mind it I just read "Washing ceremony" PPP can use some.!
they wash their old crimes and ready to embark on new ones!
When the doors of Kaaba are opened for a dignatory. It is customary to clean inside and Namaz is traditional rituals.. 1971 Kaaba doors were open for Za Butto and Nusrat Butto. Ms Nusrat Butto immediately came out that it is smelly and hummed I cannot breath. This is not a story ,In 1972 I was gust of Saudi prince, Doors of Kaba was opened as gesture of friendship. Care taker told me what happened last year. Now what grand son has don?
I hope Tappi is not in Saudia to scam some land to his name
@Khalq e Khuda: that for the Dignitaries not for the looters ...
Bathing is good thing. Bilwal should practice it more often.
And this makes them super pious and clean of all impurities???? Umarah aur namaz ki 1 2 bhi pata hain in ko. Lets get back to the corruption shall we once we are washed clean son?
The "Special Door" is opened only for politicians. How these monarchs of Saudi Arabia has transformed the House of Allah Almighty into their personal property and solely at their disposal. The visa requirements for visiting the place!! I mean, seriously, it hurts! Why do I need anyone's "approval" to visit the house of my Lord??
Only those who are willed by Allah get in Kaaba. I am quite mystified about these individuals. They appear to have much better standing in the realm of divinity than what we always thought about them
@Noble Tufail: so true
Is there any Umrah that is performed with official protocol ? .. what is the mpa protocol by the way outside the country?? why on earth there personal ibaadat needs the media coverage ??
