Bilawal lashes out at govt for incarcerating Zardari
PPP chairman says Zardari arrested for treading on the heels of Zulfikar Bhutto, Benazir
HYDERABAD: Taking up cudgels on behalf of his father, former president Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said Zardari is treading on the heels of former prime ministers Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto.
"Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, your son is telling you that your Asif is ill but he is not afraid. He hasn't bowed nor been sold. He has not wept nor is broken. There is no fear on his face and not a scowl on his forehead," said Bilawal while addressing a public meeting in Nawabshah on Friday organised to mark the 66th birth anniversary of former prime minister and PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto.
"But he is still smiling and honouring the promise made to you [Benazir] in his fight against the dark forces in which Zulfikar Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto embraced martyrdom," said the PPP chairman.
Bilawal dedicated around half of his minute speech to defend his father who has been arrested by the National Accountability Bureau in a graft case.
