Bilawal: a prophecy fulfilled?
“The most celebrated and politically controversial baby in the history of Pakistan had been born,” said Benazir in her autobiography – a prophetic statement as Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is expected to make his first speech on Saturday since leaving university in Britain.
Bilawal, who is already chairman of the PPP, is expected to speak before several thousand of its supporters at an event in Birmingham, central England, alongside his father who is visiting Britain.
Bilawal, whose name means “one without equal”, could soon be heading back to the country of his illustrious ancestors, despite having spent most of his life outside Pakistan.
If he does, he will be closer to fulfilling the role for which he has seemed destined since the day he was born. The PPP has played down its significance, perhaps wary of criticism President Zardari is facing that he should return to Pakistan in the wake of catastrophic floods which have killed up to 1,500 people and affected some four million.
President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday said that Bilawal Bhutto’s political training will now commence, as he has completed his education.
