Bilawal Bhutto to take oath as Pakistan Foreign Minister

Islamabad, April 27 . Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, who is likely to become the foreign minister, will take oath as a federal minister on Wednesday. According to Geo TV, Bilawal made the announcement on Tuesday in a press conference after a meeting of the PPP’s Central Executive Committee (CEC). Last week, Adviser to Prime Minister on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira had said that his party chairman would be taking oath within two days. Speaking at a press conference, Bilawal said that Imran Khan’s “foreign conspiracy” narrative has hurt Pakistan’s image in the international forums. He further said Khan’s “conspiracies” would continue as he keeps shifting his targets from the judiciary to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), Geo TV reported. “Imran Khan’s politics is based on lies and propaganda. He is running a campaign ‘why didn’t you save me’. He is targeting every institution that did not ‘save’ him,” the PPP chairman said. On his meeting with PML-N supremo, he said that Nawaz Sharif had discussed the “Charter of Democracy (CoD) II” and not “the handing of portfolios”.
