Fawad slams 'reunion of Bhutto’s grandson with Zia’s foster child'

ISLAMABAD: Following Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto’s meeting with Nawaz Sharif at the prison, federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said on Monday that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s grandson reunited with 'Zia-ul-Haq’s foster child’.

While reacting to the meeting between the leaders of the two biggest opposition parties, Chaudhry said that the opposition is doing politics over Nawaz’s health.

“Today, Bhutto’s grandson took biggest u-turn of the century… An agreement was reached over Bhutto’s blood,” said the federal minister.

He further said that the meeting between the two disgruntled parties only bore disappointment.

Marriyum Aurangzeb advises Fawad Ch to focus on his responsibilities

PML-N Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb reacted to Fawad Chaudhry’s statement and said that the wordings of the federal minister do not suite his stature.

“The person who changed four parties in his political career can only criticises others… You (Fawad) should worry about your authority and stop getting concerned about others,” she retorted in a tweet.

"I felt upset when I met Mian Sb, he looked very ill. I request on behalf of the PPP that Mian Sb is given the best medical treatment and whatever treatment he has been demanding. I hope the prime minister and his government think on humanitarian grounds," he said to media personnel after the meeting. "Keeping a heart patient under pressure and stress is equivalent to torture."

Bilawal further said, "I only came here to inquire about Mian Sb's health and we mostly discussed that. Obviously we are politicians and discussed other things, including the Charter of Democracy."

Later in the day in a joint press conference, Punjab health minister Yasmeen Rashid and Chief Spokesperson of Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Gill stated that there is no politics being done over the health issue of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
