ISLAMABAD: Observers suggest that the seemingly contradictory statements made by PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and his father, former President Asif Ali Zardari, are a deliberate part of their tactical approach, akin to playing the roles of a benevolent figure and a tough enforcer.
According to an insider, Bilawal and Zardari are essentially two facets of the same political strategy, a fact well-understood within their party. The source emphasized that there are no actual divisions between the two leaders, and their statements are carefully orchestrated for specific purposes.
The source went on to clarify that Zardari’s pronouncements represent the official stance of the party, while Bilawal’s statements are primarily tailored for public consumption. Zardari, despite not enjoying immense popularity, is regarded as the astute political strategist within the PPP. “His decisions hold the final word, a fact known to everyone within the party,” asserted the source.
