Bilawal is too young and inexperienced person to be taken seriously as he is hardly aware of the on-ground dimensions of the problem. Bilawal has been given the media pedestal so that he acts as the face of media’s intentions to undermine peace talks. Everyone in every quarter has his doubts on the whole process of talks, but if the state has decided to give it a chance, the idea should be given fair chance to succeed from all quarters. But the problem is that the state’s ideas seem to have been run down by personal agendas.

Position taken by Khurshid Shah in National Assembly and Bilawal’s announcement of Jihad against the TTP are poles apart. We have no fair idea about the official position of the party. While most of the stake-holders in Pakistan are holding adaptable positions, PPP is playing the best fence-sitting game. It has created itself a win-win situation in anyway the talks end up. Khurshid Shah’s support for talks will win the party accolades for seeking peaceful end to the crisis while Bilawal’s push for action will bring rewards to the party if talks fizzle out.

Agree with everything on Bilawal. But being the chairman of PPP, he has millions of listeners & then second largest political party. His words weight a lot, and it takes some courage to speak up like that in such a mess.

He could be a target, both of his speeches were in public. I don’t rule out a suicide or something on him.
