He went on to say that “Pakistan was burning” and the PPP had decided that it would “put out this fire”.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari revealed, “I was offered to let one party hold the prime ministership for three years, and then the other could take over for the remaining two years.”
Rejecting the proposal, the PPP chief said, “I refused because I don’t want to attain the prime ministership through such means. If I were to become the prime minister, it would be through the mandate of the Pakistani people.”
