Emerging cracks: Bilawal forms committee to probe Parveen Junejo's allegations
According to a statement released to the media on Tuesday, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has instructed his party people to refrain from giving any comments till the time the committee, consisting senior party leaders, submits its report.
A source claimed that Junejo's husband wanted her to resign so that he could take her place in the assembly following by-elections.
While talking to The Express Tribune, Junejo said that she was made to resign under pressure. “Since I took oath, my husband started to dictate how to utilise the MPA development fund,” she said. “He interfered in everything. Whenever, I refused he insisted that I should resign.”
She further added that PPP MNA Faryal Talpur, who is a senior leader of the party, too had forced her to resign.
“I will not give up and will come and talk about this in the next assembly session,” she said.
Aziz Junejo was not available to comment. His family members, however, have confirmed that he will be contesting in the by-elections from the area.

@Mirza: It will be interesting to see your Bilawal bubble bursting.Please follow this story to the conclusion and at the end remember to enlighten us too, with what baby bhutto was able to do about this,about drought in thar,daily target killings in Sindh,Polio virus,extremism creeping into Sindh and about the reeling corruption,which is the face of wadera corruption party.Alternately you can point me to his shooting tweets at godspeed to fix chronic issues of Pakistan,if there is nothing you could find above those lines. P.S. May you,your kids,their kids and their kids,be forever ruled by the likes of Raja Rental,Talpurs,Sharjeel Memons,Rehman Maliks,RajaRiaz and every other corrupt to the core,average,typical peepli politician.
@Mirza: "....Even our missiles are named after the most brutal invaders of Indian subcontinent. Yet these same people do not stop condemning the same politics from the other side of their mouth."
In other words you condone the continuation of Bhutto-Zardari dynasty's hegemony over your party. Not surprising.
Almost all our parties have a man as their leader who has appointed himself for life. In fact we have grown with the stories of great Muslim ruling dynasties and we all loved them and still fondly talk about their place in our history. Soon after our prophet's death PBUH, there was Bano ummayah, Banu Abbas, to the Ottoman caliphs. All our heroes and we love them. Even our missiles are named after the most brutal invaders of Indian subcontinent. Yet these same people do not stop condemning the same politics from the other side of their mouth.
One more reason why we should have a Naya Pakistan.

I am glad that Bilawal is finally proving that he is a man and putting his foot down. If PPP has to regain the respect of poor, women, minorities and progressive elements they would have to earn it by taking clear stand against all injustices.
There we go again, dynastic politics and political party, do they understand what is going on in the country and what the young generation is up to , they want change and change will come and is coming. Bilawal the chairman, what a joke.
I believe her story; period!
