Bilawal Bhutto Rejects Engagement Rumours, Criticises Minister Over PIMS Tragedy

Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has rejected social media reports about his alleged engagement and marriage, saying social media had already “fixed” his relationship and even arranged his wedding. He clarified that nothing of the sort had happened and said he did not know anyone named Princess Gloria.

Bilawal said that if any major decision concerning his personal life was made, it would be announced by his family. He urged people to focus on real issues and ignore what he described as “social media drama,” saying such speculation was being used to divert attention from important matters.

Referring to the PIMS tragedy in Islamabad, Bilawal said 14 children had lost their lives in the incident. He also criticized a federal minister, accusing him of wanting to divide the country into 30 pieces while claiming that the minister could not even manage a single hospital and intending to be Gorbachev of Pakistan.

Bilawal said the minister was making such statements at a time when the Sindh Assembly was taking a courageous position on the matter. He maintained that such issues should be discussed in the appropriate forum, saying they could not be settled on the streets or at a Lahore business forum, but should be raised in the assembly that was among the first to join Pakistan.
