I would suggest that he should stay in Lahore and focus on its problems,\u201d said PPP chairman while addressing a press conference in Mithi where he addressed public rally last night. Bilawal Bhutto\u2019s reaction comes as PML-N announced an alliance in elections with Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) in Sindh and Nawaz Sharif\u2019s recent visit to Quetta where several BAP politicians are expected to join PML-N. The PPP chief urged PML-N to engage in independent politics instead of relying on alliances. \u201cPML-N should do politics on its own instead of relying on others. They ran away from the local body election. I don\u2019t know what the fear was,\u201d said Bhutto, suggesting that PML-N should have prioritized addressing issues in Balochistan. Bilawal criticized PML-N for aligning with the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) despite past conflicts. \u201cIf BAP was bad yesterday, they will be bad today as well. The same result will come out in Mian Sahib\u2019s visit,\u201d he said. The former minister stressed the need for constructive politics, saying, \u201cPakistan cannot prosper amid the politics of backbiting, accusations, and revenge.\u201d \u201cThose who sit in Islamabad know less about ground realities. We don\u2019t look left and right, we look towards the people,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif\u2019s recent visit to Balochistan has stirred political reactions, with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11469,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news-updates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.diplomacypakistan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
