FM slams Bilawal for creation of ‘Sindhudesh’
The minister advised Bilawal Bhutto that using ‘Sindh card’ does not suit him as the young politician has just begun his political career. Qureshi was reacting to the statement of Bhutto regarding the creation of ‘Sindhudesh’. The minister assured that the federal government will not hurt the provincial autonomy, “there should be no speculations in the minds of our MNAs from Sindh.” He told the PPP chairman that talking about Sindhudesh under the influence of emotions or someone’s pressure was bad idea because “your political journey is at the outset.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKXSEGaxKt0 Earlier, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi called on UNHCHR Michelle Bachelet in Geneva on Tuesday.
