Khan sahab, do exactly as much as you can endure: PPP chief Bilawal in Nawabshah

The PPP chief made numerous jibes at the incumbent premier, warning Khan to "do exactly as much as you can endure".

Bilawal advised the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief to pray that his father, PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari "comes into power after you for he does not exact revenge.

"You know what you will face if the PML-N [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz] comes into power after you," he added.

Addressing the PM by his last name Khan, Bilawal said: "You'll be stoned if Maulana [Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Chief Fazlur Rehman] comes into power!"

"Khan sahab, you're a 70-year-old, elderly man. I'm a 30-year-old young man," he added.

The PPP chair observed how Khan "used to say he'd make us cry" but said: "I happily bade farewell to my aged father when he went to jail."

However, he added that his younger sister, Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, was tearful when the PPP co-chair was leaving for jail. "Khan sahab, I'll make you pay for my younger sister's tears," he vowed.

Bilawal further referred to his late uncle as well. "Khan sahab, don't you forget that I'm the nephew of Shaheed [martyred] Mir Murtaza Bhutto!"

Bilawal noted that only cowards targeted the women and the elderly. He assuredly expressed hope that his father, Zardari, who was jailed earlier for more than a decade, would again be honourably acquitted.

Separately, speaking about his mother, late Benazir Bhutto, Bilawal said she was Pakistan's identity and "a wonderful mother while being a politician as well".

The late former PM "breathed a new soul into the politics when she entered" the game, he added, noting that "Benazir clashed with dictatorships and broke them down".

Bilawal commented on how the first woman prime minister of a Muslim majority country "represented her people internationally".

Sadly, he added, however, "today, on June 21, 2019, democracy's light is going out."
