Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari left for Dubai hours after his father and PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari called him an “inexperienced” politician, sources said.
But the PPP Friday quashed the rumours of differences between the party’s top brass and father-son duo.
The development came after Zardari’s hard-hitting interview with a private TV channel, wherein he called Bilawal “inexperienced”, “not fully trained” in politics, and would “take time” getting up to speed — fuelling rumours of rifts between them — as Bilawal had been asking old politicians to rest and allow the new generation to take the lead.In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, PPP Central Secretary Information Faisal Karim Kundi said the party chairman’s visit to Dubai, was pre-planned. “Chairman PPP @BBhuttoZardari has left for Dubai yesterday afternoon according to his schedule after KP visit,” Kundi noted, after media outlets reported that he had left the country “all of a sudden”.
