KARACHI: Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has asserted that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s politics revolves around one important appointment, in an apparent reference to army chief’s appointment, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
Speaking at an inauguration ceremony in Karachi, the foreign minister criticised Imran Khan for doing politics on a key appointment, saying that the key appointment was subjected to purposeless political maneuvering.
“Both the allies of the government and the opposition should avoid making this issue controversial. The appointment should be made as per the constitution and law,” he said.
Bilawal Bhutto further said that it was better for every politician to participate in elections, rather than to indulge in any sort of spat, which would affect the democracy.
“Our country was suffering the consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Providing all-out help to the flood-stricken people is at top of our priority list. Millions of people were affected due to the heavy rains and subsequent floods,” he added.
