Speaking in the National Assembly, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has urged older lawmakers, “many of whom have been in this House six times”, to make decisions that benefit the youth and coming generations.

“Past decisions that have been made have completely ruined the country,” he remarked.

He added that he was disappointed by the “abuse hurled around” at yesterday’s National Assembly session that saw PML-N’s Shehbaz Sharif elected prime minister for his second term.

“What is the nation seeing? We have reached a dangerous point,” he said.
