Author: Staff Report

KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Tuesday criticised Defence Minister Khawaja Asif for drawing a parallel between terrorist attacks and political protests. In a tweet hours after terrorists martyred 60 Pakistanis cadets in Quetta, Khawaja Asif took to the micro-blogging website Twitter and compared the assault with PTI’s plan to hold a protest in Islamabad on November 2.

“India attacks LOC & working boundary. Quetta &Peshawar attacked from Afghanistan. IK preparing to attack Islamabad Accidental coordination?,” he tweeted, which drew sharp condemnations from netizens. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari denounced the defence minister’s remarks, saying it was shameful to play politics now. “Delete your tweet. Delete your account. Delete your ministry. Delete your government. Shameful to play politics now! Ignore clowns. Do ur job!” Bilawal tweeted.
