Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari spoke with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman via telephone on Sunday to discuss the country’s political situation. According to a PPP press release, Bilawal condemned the government’s actions and "political vengeance" targeting the JUI-F, describing the situation as political victimization.
Bilawal stated that the government should tolerate criticism from the opposition and avoid steps that could weaken democracy and the parliament. Dawn reports that the conversation occurred amid high tensions between the JUI-F chief and the PML-N-led federal government over the past month. On the same day, the JUI-F held street protests in several cities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa against propaganda directed at the party and its leadership, according to Dawn.
