Asif Zardari Turns to Bakhtawar for Mediation Amidst Growing Rift with Bilawal

Karachi, November 26, 2023  – Former President Asif  Zardari has reportedly reached out to his daughter Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, currently residing in Dubai, seeking her assistance in reconciling the differences with his son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

The tension between father and son escalated when Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), demanded full autonomy in both politics and party affairs.

This demand has sparked a new controversy, providing opponents with fresh ammunition to brand Bilawal as inexperienced.

The rift became more apparent after Asif Zardari openly discussed the country’s political situation in a recent interview, expressing concerns about Bilawal’s readiness and training.

Zardari acknowledged that Bilawal is still in the process of acquiring the necessary skills for a leadership role.

The move to involve Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari in mediating the family dispute highlights the severity of the situation within the PPP leadership.

Observers suggest that this internal discord could have broader implications for the party’s unity and political standing.

As the nation watches, the Bhutto-Zardari family dynamics are playing out on the public stage, adding a new layer of complexity to Pakistan’s political landscape.

The coming days will reveal whether Bakhtawar’s intervention can bridge the gap between Asif Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto, or if the internal strife will continue to deepen within the influential political family. (agencies)
