Bilawal Bhutto speaks to separatists, says his solidarity is with Kashmiris

July 14, 2016 19:01

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the 'Gen Next' politician of Pakistan, waded in to the ongoing unrest in Kashmir saying he had "spoken to Mirwaiz and my solidarity is with Kashmir."

Mirwaiz refers to separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the Chairman of the Hurriyat Conference.

Bhutto, the chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, has made statements on Kashmir
earlier as well.

In 2014, he was the butt of Twitter jokes when he said that his PPP would get back entire Kashmir from India.

Bilawal, the scion of highly influential Bhutto family and son of the late Pakistan PM Benazir Bhutto, had said, "I will take back Kashmir, all of it, and I will not leave behind a single inch of it because, like the other provinces, it belongs to Pakistan."
