This was disclosed by former prime minister and key PPP leader Raja Pervez Ashraf while speaking at a news conference here on Wednesday.—Amir Wasim

Yet another example of how morally bankrupt this current PPP so called leadership has become. If people still vote for these cowards then we only have ourselves to blame.

This boy should not worry, and no one should target him; he just has the misfortune of being born into that family. The real challenge is his father. But I get the sense that he too is done through elections. Now the real challenge will be for the incoming government confiscating his ill-gotten wealth stashed away worldwide. Leave the people alone, let them live in poverty and fear.

The bigots are so worried about their security! Do they have an idea of what security an ordinary Pakistani enjoys due to pre-occupation of Police and LEAs with VIP duties. Eliminate this word VIP from Pakistan and Remove all the Police from such duties so it could be made accountable for its core responsibility i.e. protecting the life and property of AWAM.

Yet another example of how bankrupt the current PPP leadership has become in every way shape and form. If even now the people vote for these useless and utterly pathetic so called leaders then we will have only ourselves to blame.

Although I am not a fan of young Bhutto, what a strange country where its citizens cannot even stand up for election nor cast their votes!!! If the security situation is so bad then why have elections at all.

It seems that PPP is dead for this election. It was great mistake to appoint Bilawal as heir to PPP throne. Also, if Bilawal is sensible, he should realize that it was wrong. He was supposed to work his way up in the party, instead of becoming chairman of the party on day one.

I sincerely hope the people in Pakistan will be smart enough not get manipulated by the Bhutto name....It is odd that the "future" of Pakistan has never even spent time in his homeland...Imran Khan is a true born and raised Pakistani....Bilawal is more fit to run as an MP in the U.K instead
