Former PM and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif nominates his younger brother for the top post after days of suspense over who would form the next government in Pakistan.
Bilawal said PML-N was only party to reach out to PPP for govt formation & that PPP won’t take any ministries. He asserted he’d like to see his father Asif Ali Zardari as president.
When his mother Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007, Bilawal became the titular head of the Pakistan Peoples Party. Today, he is at the epicentre of a political churning in Pakistan.
