The PPP chairman was last in Islamabad on Thursday for a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, which took place at the Parliament House.

The meeting was chaired by National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser and involved a briefing by Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lieutenant General Faiz Hameed on the current situation in Kashmir and Afghanistan, besides other matters of national security.

Bilawal flew to Karachi on Friday when his father, former president Asif Ali Zardari was hospitalised.

Earlier in the day today, he visited Lyari to pay his respects to the family of PPP leader Naseema Naz Baloch who recently passed away.
