LAHORE:
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has been ‘partially allowed’ to handle matters of the party and the Sindh government, sources close to the Zardari family told local media.
Sources further claimed that Zardari agreed to give ‘some space’ to Bilawal Bhutto to take some decisions using his own wisdom. However, he is not given the mandate to ‘hire or fire’ someone in the party on his own.
During the last one week or so Bilawal presided over a number of meetings from PPP legislators of Sindh Assembly to Punjab leaders (who are responsible for running the party affairs in the largest province).
The source further said that though the co-chairman accepted the demand of most of the PPP leaders that Bilawal should be given some mandate to run the party, he was cautiously watching over the young man.
“You see despite calls from the party ranks to change the leadership in Punjab, Bilawal did not rush to take any decision in haste, showing that perhaps he is not given ‘hire and fire’ powers at this stage,” he said.
