Bilawal denies engagement, marriage rumours
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday denied reports that his engagement had been finalised, saying no such development had taken place. “I want to make it clear that neither has the match been finalised nor have I got engaged,” Bilawal said. The denial comes amid reports that President Asif Ali Zardari […]
Bilawal-Bhutto Zardari, the PPP Chairman, refuted reports of a wedding or engagement on Monday in a video statement. He emphatically clarified that no such event had taken place nor did he know anyone named Princess Gloria. Bilawal urged the public to focus on real issues and ignore the social media uproar, which he claimed aimed to distract from pressing matters.
Turning to a separate tragic event, Bilawal criticized Health Minister Mustafa Kamal, comparing him to a foreign leader trying to divide the country into 30 parts. Kamal, a member of the MQM-P, had been demanding Karachi be declared a separate province from Sindh, a move the PPP strongly opposes. Bilawal pointed out that the same minister had been telling Lahore businessmen to make and govern their own provinces.
He stressed that such discussions should occur within the Sindh Assembly, which had originally been the first province to join Pakistan. The PPP chief made these clarifications following reports that his father, President Asif Ali Zardari, had traveled to Liechtenstein to discuss and finalize his son's wedding to a European girl.
The Presidency had announced on August 27 that Zardari had embarked on a private visit abroad, without providing further details.
