Bilawal too young to understand politics: Imran Khan
108
BADIN: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday said Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto was too young to understand politics, and referred to him as 'baby' Bilawal during a public address in Matli.
Speaking at a gathering, Imran Khan said Bilawal is unable to understand that the time for dynastic politics has gone.
"You can no longer place your grandfather's and mother's picture at your back to call yourself a leader," said Imran.

The PTI chief questioned what the PPP had done to bring Sindh at par with other provinces despite having ruled for 30 years.
"Now is the time for change. I want all of you and my candidates to destroy fear and vote for change."
Imran Khan also accused powerful political parties of promoting sectarianism and hatred against minorities.
"They used these divisive strategies to achieve their political ends," said the PTI chief.
Promising the people of the area a bright future, the PTI chief asked the audience whether PPP leaders will prefer getting medical care at a hospital in Malti or send their children to schools in the town.
Imran Khan arrived in Karachi Thursday ahead of the second phase of local government elections in Sindh and paid visits to Tando Allah Yar, Tando Jam and also attended a Diwali function at Umerkot district.
The second phase of local government elections is scheduled for Nov 19 in 15 districts of Sindh. The districts awaiting polls include Matiari, Tando Allah Yar, Tando Mohammad Khan, Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, Hyderabad, Dadu, Jamshoro, Benaziriabad, Naushero Feroz, Sanghar, Mirpurkhas, Umerkot and Tharparkar.

Bilawal said to ethnic minorities in Pakistan 'no one will harm you, and if anyone tries they'll have to go through me first'.
What happened then - Ismailis got slaughtered on a bus in Karachi, Christians got lynched outside a church in Lahore.
Where was Bilawal when all this happened - at his London penthouse apartment.
Imran Khan said 'no corruption in PTI'.
What happened then - he made Ch Sarwar a top leader of PTI. Ch Sarwar, who made his fortune from selling alcohol in the UK, didn't pay tax on most of his operation and had his money in a swiss bank account.
In Pakistan it seems the choice is not about who is the 'best' person to lead the country, but more around who is the 'least worst' person.
Sad - very sad.

You are much right that Mr. Bilawal Zardari is still young and immature for politics in Pakistan. It is for this reason that he has neither taken over as Chairman of PPP nor he has taken any healing measures to arrest the decline of PPP, which was once deemed as a central level party, but has now been limited to Sindh. Your observation is also correct that both PPP and PML-N have become regional level parties, for having been limited to Sindh and Punjab respectively, whereas PTI can claim to be only federal level party existing in all four provinces of Pakistan. What is needed more from PTI is to focus on its expanding party influence in Sindh more vigorously, where PPP is taking its last breath. The people of Sindh from Karachi to Kashmore will flock to join PTI when confidence is built.
