Bilawal-Maryam meeting aimed at befooling masses: Ali Bukhari

Author: inp

Punjab minister for information and culture Syed Samsam Ali Bukhari, slamming the scheduled meeting between PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz, said it was aimed at befooling the masses.

“Bilawal-Maryam meeting is an attempt to befool the people but it will fall flat,” he said in a statement on Sunday. The minister said the two opposition leaders will discuss ways of making a quick buck and “the charter of protection of corruption.” The PPP and PML-N instituted corruption cases against each other, he said and added Bhutto-Zardari had forgotten his father’s speeches against the Sharif brothers.

Bukhari said it would have been better if Maryam had apologised to her voters before meeting the PPP leader. “It is possible that they both might announce to jointly pay back the massive Rs24000 debt taken over the past decade.” He said Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision is clear that those who looted the national kitty would be taken to task without any discrimination.

The PPP young leader met with Maryam at her invitation to discuss current political situation following the 2019 budget and recent arrests of former president Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur and Punjab Assembly opposition leader Hamza Shehbaz. The PML-N leader said in a tweet a day earlier that the meeting with the PPP leader was finalised after taking Nawaz and Shehbaz Sharif into confidence.
