Bilawal wants minister to quit over air crash
13
ISLAMABAD: Hours after Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan presented the May 22 PIA plane crash report in the National Assembly, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari called for his resignation and an independent inquiry into the incident.
Through his official social media account on Twitter, the PPP chairman recalled that Prime Minister Imran Khan used to say that if there was a train crash, the railways minister should be sacked.
“Now he blames pilots and air traffic controller for the PIA crash. Victim blaming and scapegoating must end. We demand independent inquiry. (The) minister must go,” tweeted Mr Bhutto-Zardari, whose party had rejected the inquiry commission soon after its formation by the government.

When did any of your own party ministers resign for any similar mishaps in the past? What has the minister to do with this accident? If any one is to blame, it is your own party which gave employment to unfit and unqualified personnel in the past, which is the reason for any such disasters occurring in the country.

What about those responsible for hiring these people with political affiliations and not with merit.

Once again a script-reader, Mr. Bilawal Zardari, without any vision and performance.

@SHAHID SATTAR,
Mr. SHAHID SATTAR,
Correct.
Listening to Mr. Bilawal Zardari is not harmful.
What can he do except script-reading?
He doesn't have ability and capability to run a small council.

@AZAM AKBAR , You are right. His statements are only full of criticism and nothing else. Both PPP and PML-N are responsible for the seen demise of PIA by filling positions with their cronies such as loader becoming director and later on employing his family members to senior positions. The only hope for PIA survival is to move whole operation from Karachi to Islamabad.

Bilawal Bhutto,firstly you need to get some working exposure experience to gain credibility from ordinary but educated tax payers in Pakistan.

Well, railway minister has not stepped down, he was the go to guy for the justice department in the recent past. Yes, morally what Bilawal is suggesting is right but that is not going to happen in Pakistan. Pilot retraining is something that needs to be employed as well. Anything short of that will lead to similar incidences when over confident pilots will risk every landing plane and passengers. Anything short of retraining by undertaking seminars highlighting the current crises of overconfidence begs a resignation by the minister.

Citizen’s demand that “Bilawal Zardari” first quit his party then we will force minister to quit. Fair demand and equality.

@Chrís Dăń,
Mr. Chrís Dăń,
" Bilawal Bhutto,firstly you need to get some working exposure experience to gain credibility from ordinary but educated tax payers in Pakistan. "
Mr. Bilawal Zardari is irrelevant to Pakistan and the Pakistanis.
His profession is only script-reading nothing else.

And how about the political parties who recruited all those PIA employees with dubious credentials?
