| Bilawal only 'partially allowed' by Zardari to run party |
| 2015-07-07 |
[DAWN] PPP Chairman Bilawal BabyBhutto Zardari ...Pak dynastic politician, son of Benazir Bhutto and grandon of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. As far as is known, Bilawal has no particular talents other than being pretty and being able to memorize political slogans, but he had the good luck to be born into the right family and he hasn't been assassinated yet... has been "partially" authorised by his father Asif Ali Zardari to handle matters of the party and the Sindh government. Sources close to the Zardari family told Dawn that finally the party co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari agreed to give 'some space' to the party chairman (who otherwise is fully authorised to run the party by virtue of his office) to take some decisions using 'his own wisdom'. But, the 'junior' is not given the mandate to 'hire or fire' someone in the party on his own, the sources say. Earlier, Mr Zardari had said his son needed time to "get politically mature" and asked him to wait for an "appropriate time" when the party's reins would be handed over to him. |
