Will take back all of Kashmir: Bilawal Bhutto
Islamabad, Sept 20 (IBNS): Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, son of former Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and deceased Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto started a row when he was quoted as saying that he would get back "entire Kashmir".
Bilawal, chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), is regarded as the 'Gen Next' politician of Pakistan.
On Friday Bilawal, in his 20's, was addressing the party workers in flood-hit Multan region in Punjab.
"I will take back Kashmir, all of it, and I will not leave behind a single inch of it because, like the other provinces, it belongs to Pakistan" the scion of the highly influential Bhutto family was quoted as saying.
Although it was later clarified that 20-year-old was reportedly was talking about establishing his party in all parts of Pakistan, including Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir(PoK)
During the speech, Zardari Junior reportedly expressed his wish about establishing his party in South Punjab, Balochistan and PoK.
The row escalated owing to the fact that when Bilawal made these remarks, he was flanked by former Prime Ministers Yousaf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervaiz Asharaf.
Bilawal’s comments created row as his party wants good ties with India.
It has also been learnt that Bilawal plans to contest next general elections in 2018, so his comments are seen as political gimmick.
His mother, former slain premier Benazir Bhutto, was twice elected as prime minister while his maternal grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who founded the PPP in 1967, also served as prime minister in 1970s.
Bilawal's father Asif Ali Zardari was Pakistan's president from 2008 to 2013.
