“PPP will blame me if anything happens to Bilawal”: Sheikh Rasheed

ISLAMABAD: Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed has said that the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) will blame him  for any attack on Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

“It makes me afraid whenever I see his [Bilawal’s] head out of a vehicle’s sunroof,” he said in an exclusive interview.

On Wednesday, the PPP leaders announced that they will file a case against Sheikh Rasheed for threatening Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Rasheed tweeted on March 16 about Bilawal and said, “People say Bilawal is a child. Bilawal should play it safe otherwise he’ll get killed in politics”.

The PPP scion has come on the radar following his explosive remarks against the government in recent press conferences. On March 20, he claimed that the government didn’t arrest the leaders of banned outfits but took them into “protective custody” to save them from Indian jets.

“Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is playing on the Indian pitch,” he said. The federal minister claimed that former president Asif Ali Zardari is willing to sacrifice his own son to protect himself.
