A day after veteran Sindh politician Irfanullah Marwat announced joining Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, daughter of Asif Ali Zardari, called the former provincial minister a sick man. Irfanullah Marwat, a senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), met Asif Zardari at Bilawal House yesterday and announced his decision to join the PPP.
In response to a tweet about Marwat joining the PPP, Bakhtawar Bhutto said that he should be rotting in a jail cell somewhere instead. "Sick man should be rotting in a jail cell somewhere not coming anywhere near PPP. Party that was led by a woman will not tolerate such people," she said. Bakhtawar's angry outburst came after a Twitter user shared a 1991 news report which claimed that Marwat was behind the gang rape of a Karachi woman to punish her for her links to Bhutto family.
