LONDON : Advisor to the prime minister and Pakistan People Party (PPP) senior leader , Qamar Zaman Laura, has confirmed that his party chairman , Bilawal Bhutto , was going to take oath as Pakistan’s foreign minister in a couple of days . Mr Laura’s confirmation to this effect has settled down dust on the issue as delay in Bilawal Bhutto’s inclusion in prime minister , Shahbaz Sharif ‘s cabinet had started a grinding mill of rumours in Pakistan. Even very senior leaders of PPP were doubtful that Mr Bilawal Bhutto will join Shahbaz Sharif’s cabinet. Mr Bilawal Bhutto’s reluctance in joining the federal cabinet was even a serious source of concern for newly elected prime minister of Pakistan. Mr Bilawal ‘s party has already thrown its weight behind Shahbaz Sharif government and its half a dozen minister’s have already become part of the federal cabinet, but Bilawal Bhutto’s absence from the federal cabinet was being seen as a concern to Shahbaz Sharif.
Now Mr Kaira’s confirmation that Mr Bilawal Bhutto was going to take oath in next a couple of days as foreign minister is a good omen for Shahbaz Sharif’s government .
Mr Kaira also spoke on other national issues during his media talk in London. He said ousted prime minister , Imran Khan’s misled the people of Pakistan to keep on clinging to the power after losing government in no confidence motion. He vowed that coalition government will work daily and night to address serious issues confronted with Pakistan.
Mr Kaira is accompanying Bilawal Bhutto in London for talks with former prime minister , Nawaz Sharif.
PPP team led by chairman Bilawal Bhutto himself had detailed negotiations with Nawaz Sharif in London during the last four days
Mr Kaira told the media persons that his party chairman , Bilawal Bhutto, is on his way to Pakistan and he will take oath as a foreign minister in couple of days. He told a questioner that it would be premature to say who will be next president of Pakistan .
