Bilawal and history

Published

BILAWAL Bhutto-Zardari should study history and then air his views.

Being a prime minister or the chief executive of the country three times or even more is of no consequence.

I would recommend young Bilawal read about the heads of those countries, who were elected for lifetime and then their fortunes went south. Thereafter these leaders were dislodged and disgraced, many on corruption charges.

I also request the PPP chairperson to bear in mind that old adage: once a thief, always a thief.
