Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday responded to Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry's comments on his meeting with former premier Nawaz Sharif at Kot Lakhpat jail.
"If U-turns make great leaders in Naya-Pakistan you're saying I am now Leader of the Century? Also visiting someone who is ill should be seen for what it is. Humanity above politics."
"Pehlay insan bano phir syasatan bano. Remember NS visit when the old Khan fell and broke his back?" the PPP chairman added.
