The war of words began on October 12, when PTI leader Asad Umar tweeted a reply regarding the teen activist's desire to become Pakistan's prime minister one day.
@KamranNawaz6 @BBhuttoZardari @MaryamNSharif all power to her
— Asad Umar (@Asad_Umar) October 11, 2013
Bilawal Bhutto, who was tagged in the earlier tweet, took the opportunity to criticise PTI Chairman Imran Khan.
@Asad_Umar @KamranNawaz6 I want Malal 2 b my PM. She puts IK 2 shame coz at 14 she had courage to talk against TTP but IK is a coward at 60.
— BilawalBhuttoZardari (@BBhuttoZardari) October 11, 2013
Not one to hold back, Asad Umar responded to the criticism.
@BBhuttoZardari @KamranNawaz6 says the courageous leader who is not even willing to live in pakistan..
— Asad Umar (@Asad_Umar) October 11, 2013
What followed was an outpouring of rage by PTI followers on both Twitter and Facebook. Tweets about the online exchange went viral, and became Facebook memes.
The young Bhutto replied to a number of PTI supporters, but also managed to sneak in a few potshots at the Insaafians.
Thank u. The first sane insafian. #props @sufyan_amjad

@QudratullahDr @zain_reza tsunami, ballay, Bally, 90days aren't hollow slogans?
— BilawalBhuttoZardari (@BBhuttoZardari) October 14, 2013
Last night, Bilawal signed off with a smile and hashtag directed at the PTI, some of whom have continued trolling him.
I'm really looking forward 2 next election whn the ppl of Pakhtunkhwa will flush this jali tsunami down the toilet. #goodnighttrolls :-)

@I am a Khan: "Immature Balawal and Immature PTI leaders…utterly childish behaviour." . Let the kids have fun. They have discovered the buttons. Sorry the other kid was how old?
@Karachiwala: don't drag mqm here.it is b/w the two.
@Mir: "Bilawal is a good looking boy, he will be very popular in KP and with TTP. I hope he stay away from Pakistan, there will be hundereds wants to kidnap him." . Trouble is, such experiences can have everlasting effects on a person's psyche. Do you really think Ayub Khan ever forgot, what he in his book describes as bed being too small in size? Ask people from Lalu Kheyt. . Not that easy either for IK to delete from his memory
@Ameer:
Thanks for pointing out the obvious bias and partial journalism of ET. Nothing new there, ET is always out to degrade PTI. BTW, will the people of Pakistan vote for a gay to make him a PM? Not sure Pakistan's society is open to that idea yet.
ET as always, conveniently 'forgot' this. Bilawal has "principals".
LOL. So much for Oxford.

Well i now have no doubt about the future of PPP. this guay happens to be the chairman of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's PPP. Asad Umer said nothing which can be rated as unethical. Bilawal went too low in response to anonymous or common people. there should be some difference between political leaders and ordinary FB users. and this guay talking about bravery, give us a break! you, your sisters and your father are hiding somewhere. bravery in PPP died too with the death of Benazir. you refused to run the election campaign of 2013 because you were afraid. that was legitimate and wise as well but then don't talk about bravery, please. IK, with all my reservations about his politics, is the only leader in PK who has the courage to go out in public these days. you don't teach IK courage, atleast. bilawal chill out in London, have fun!
Both these Trolls are the 2 sides of the same Coin. They get education in UK, enjoying on beaches &night clubs there. But come to Pakistan only for ruling (ruining) the Country.
@ Mir you seem to be a part of G&L pride group.. @ ET can't believe that comment has been approved by yourselves !!!!!
Well who is coward? The ones who failed to arrest Benazir Bhutto murderers in 5 years? And about Malala as PM well PPP will never allow a figure like her to become PM, its all rhetoric every ones knows Malala cant even contest elections for good 10 or 15 years so doing politics on her name might give Mr Bilawal and PPP few votes from people who likes Malala, otherwise last 5 years of Mr Bilawal party in government were the worst days for Pakistan and Pakistanis and this is the reason they are now just shrink to interior sindh. And Malala is sign of woman and girls educations and Mr Bilawal party leaders the Feudal Lords of interior sindh wont allow education of even boys in their areas and turned schools into their Autaqs, actually interior sindh needs Malala against PPP .
I think Bilawal is clearly at fault here. I mean Asad Umar had only nice words to say about Malala, don't think there was any need for Bilawal to stoop this low (that too as party chairman) and criticize IK without any reason.
Bilawal is a good looking boy, he will be very popular in KP and with TTP. I hope he stay away from Pakistan, there will be hundereds wants to kidnap him.
thank god, its not being blamed on mqm..
Buhahahahahahahahaha! And I thought I was the one who had the audacity to troll the trolls of Deen-e-Ilzam! Way to go Big B :Ds
one retweet of asad umar's tweet is equal to all bilawal's tweets put together
bilawal bhutto is no match...he was crying like a baby
Seriously? Is this article trolling us by calling that trolling? Troll-ception?
Malala and Imran agree on talking to the Taliban. Malala and Imran agree that drones are wrong. Malala and Imran are liked (and disliked) by many in Pakistan. Hmmm, i see a union of political figures in the future...
Baby Bhutto on the other hand, doesn't even know his own party the PPP endorses talks with the TTP. There's a reason the people of KPK knocked him and his allies (ANP) out.
Pretty sure he's trolling himself.
People like children of influentials should be ashamed of using their family's influence in Politics. They live most of their lives in Europe but learn nothing from them.
I cant imagine how people are actually applauding Bilawal for acting like a loon. He is a leader of a political party. No one their right state of mind would support what Bilawal is doing on twitter. This isn't trolling. Trolling is an aspect of commoners from Bilawal's end this is unacceptable. Using Bhutto's name and acting like a legacy has a huge difference! An alos I would like to point out PTI's leadership has never displayed this immaturity. Trolling may be common trait of PTI supporters but never PTI's leadership. I dont see him as a potential leader but just another immature-road-side-troll who doesn't even have sense how to be a leader.
I'm following Bilawal on twitter and I can confidently say all the senior 'tajziyanagaars' who had predicted an end of PPP will hav to eat their words in next elections. Hard times for Pti trolls. Bilawal is the man of the moment.
It seems that Bilawal Zardari will never be entering real politics. He will only tweet and blog from an undisclosed location. Even in Pakistan he will be hiding behing the 14 eet walls of Bilawal House which encloses Karachi public property. How can he even say what he is saying from an ivory tower.
This is not what trolling means. Please look it up.
That goes to show people of Pakistan made the Right choice by not Selecting the Immature Brat who lives in UK OR the Cricketer who lives in cuckoo land !!!!
@Asad A.: Hahaha Jeo Bilawal...
This one is good:
BilawalBhuttoZardari @BBhuttoZardari "I'm really looking forward 2 next election whn the ppl of Pakhtunkhwa will flush this jali tsunami down the toilet. #goodnighttrolls :-) "
and this is just wonderful and describes that 61 year old kid who just failed to grow up :
BilawalBhuttoZardari @BBhuttoZardari
@Asad_Umar @KamranNawaz6 I want Malal 2 b my PM. She puts IK 2 shame coz at 14 she had courage to talk against TTP but IK is a coward at 60. (IK to shame?! no one can shame any shameless coward including this one).
Immature Balawal and Immature PTI leaders...utterly childish behaviour.
Haha PTI trolls have met their match. Go Billy B!
let them troll each other as long as it keeps them from trolling Malala its ok!
