As political parties gear up for upcoming general elections slated for February 8 next year, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari fired a broadside at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif saying that the three-time former prime minister is seeking a fourth term via “selection”, Geo News reported.
Taking a jibe at the former premier, Bilawal said: “Mian sahib you have come [to the power] three times via ‘selection’. At least be ‘elected’ for [your] fourth tenure [as prime minister this time],” the PPP leader said while addressing a political gathering in Lower Dir.
PPP chairman’s remarks come amid an increasing political temperature in the country as parties go into electioneering mode forging new alliances.
