Fawad suggests Bilawal that he contest Karachi's mayoral polls

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Saturday took a jibe at PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and suggested he contest Karachi's mayoral polls instead of the country's general elections.

Fawad, while speaking during a press conference in Jhelum, said that Pakistan is a great country, therefore, it needs great leaders.

"The leadership of this great country cannot be handed over to naive people like Bilawal and Maryam Nawaz," the minister said.

He added that since Bilawal is not "competent enough to contest the general elections, he may try his luck in Karachi's mayoral polls instead."

"Both Maryam and Bilawal should strive to climb up the ladder of their political careers," Fawad said, adding that "Maryam does not have the stature to call herself a national leader."

"Her [street power] depends on the students of Maulana Fazlur Rehman's madrassas alone," he said.

Criticising the Opposition, the minister said that it had to face defeat in the Senate despite the PML-N and PPP "enjoying a so-called majority there."

He went on to say that the Opposition "does not have any policy to abide by" as they talk about something else in the House and project a different narrative when they are outside.

"As far as the PTI is concerned, we have no political opponents; we are accountable to our voters, so PTI's voters will dictate our policy," he said.
