ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s criticism for each other turned personal as they delivered fiery speeches in the National Assembly on Wednesday.
It began when Bilawal excoriated the government, the “embarrassment” of a budget session and the Speaker Asad Qaider in a speech and left the House. After him, Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi spoke, where he too criticised the government. After them, Qureshi responded and challenged Bilawal to return and listen to his rebuttal.
“Where did he go after making his speech? I want him to return,” he added. “I would like to ask Bilawal Bhutto to return to his seat. Come back to the field and listen to us now,” the Foreign Minister thundered from the treasury benches.
