KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party’s chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari who apart from his occasional fiery public speeches also makes news on account of his controversial tweets on Friday tweeted: “If my tweets freak you out so much wait and see what I can do from Parliament.”

Some of his recent contentious remarks on the social networking website relate to the treason trial of former military dictator General (retd) Pervez Musharraf.

In a sarcastic note that followed Musharraf’s transfer to the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) in Rawalpindi on Thursday, Bilawal wrote: “I can’t believe this coward ever wore the uniform of our brave and courageous armed forces.”

He further said: “All medical excuses must be verified by an independent board of doctors. I have an ouchy is no excuses (sic) to skip your treason case.”

In the past, the PPP chairman has also blamed Musharraf for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

In May last year, Bilawal had accused Musharraf of sabotaging his mother’s security when she returned to Pakistan in 2007, saying the former military ruler had “murdered” his mother.

Apart from his recent tweets regarding Musharraf, he has also posted remarks condemning the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as well as the Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) when its chief Syed Munawwar Hasan said Pakistani soldiers losing their lives in military operations and bombings were not martyrs.

The Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf and its chairman Imran Khan have also been a subject of derision in the comments posted on the PPP chairman's Twitter account.
