Bilawal Criticizes Khawaja Asif, Demands Apology
Targeting Defence Minister Khawaja Asif over his recent comments regarding the Kashmiri public, Bilawal termed the federal minister’s stance and tone deeply disappointing for someone holding a senior cabinet position.
“A federal minister should maintain a tone and demeanor fitting for their office. The Defence Minister must either withdraw his statements and apologize to the people of Kashmir or resign from his position to stand by his words,” Bilawal stated.
Remarks on Internet Restrictions and Political Leaders
Addressing broader political developments, the PPP chairman expressed concern over the blanket internet shutdown in AJK ahead of the polls, emphasizing that restricting communication damages public trust ahead of the elections.
Bilawal also commented on recent statements made by JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, noting that they sent an unfavorable message to the public and expressing hope that the Maulana would reconsider his position.
