Discussions held on Bilawal's election as MNA

Dawn.com Published October 18, 2013

LARKANA: Former president Asif Ali Zardari has held discussions on getting his son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari elected as a member of the National Assembly, DawnNews reported.

To achieve this, the possibility of Bilawal standing from NA-204 Larkana was looked into. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari turned 25 years old on September 21.

Former Sindh law minister Ayaz Soomro had been elected from NA-204 constituency in the previous election.

To vacate the seat Ayaz Soomro could be given responsibilities in the Sindh Government.

Separately, Asif Ali Zardari said during a speech in Naudero that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) would support the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on every decision that would benefit the country.

Moreover, the former president said that if the ongoing Karachi operations had not been supported, then the situation in the country would have worsened, adding that all issues would be resolved once the security situation of the country improved.

PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Faryal Talpur, MNA Mohammad Ayaz Soomro and several party workers were also present during the Eid celebrations.

You own Sind, you have already ruined the rules let Bilawal do the rest, don't you guys feel ashamed when people have no clean water. Electricity used by your appointees is free when will we see a peaceful SInd?

@Cobrajock: Well said. V. Lenin had a very apt saying on the democratic system that fits Pakistan perfectly : The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them. The irony is Mr. Zardari, Bilawal etc, etc, etc never needed to read Marx or Lenin to understand this.

Can we get elected somehow in Oxfordshire or even better married to a middle east royalty and have him in exile for eternity? Thanks Daddy Zardari for implementing asap.

Zardari Shaib, Please spare us from this Torment. How you not learned you lessons or do you think we will have recovered enough in the next few years for your son now to bleed us dry. From ZAB to your reign of corruption have you not done enough to destroy Pakistan. Just fade away to Your castles and please take Riaz MALIK WITH YOU. tHANK YOU.

@suleman: What U did not received from PPP in last 5 years Are U getting it from PMLN. Do U hope from IK. PTI will keep killing its ministers. Let us save them. Is kashkol broken? Drones stopped. Electric rates dropped. Ask PMLN to go now now and now and bring money of Zardari from SW/land. Bilawal away away.
