NAUDERO: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) martyred chairperson, Benazir Bhutto’s close confidant Sherry Rahman has said that the son of Benazir, Bilawal was not willing to take over the PPP leadership.

Talking to French News Agency here, she told this.

When quizzed as to whether Bilawal could be nominated as the new party chief, Sherry Rahman told that Bilawal, 19 was not willing to take part in politics at this time and added, “He is young and going back for the completion of his studies.”

Meanwhile, other office-bearers of the party said that Bilawal too could take over the party president slot and if it so happened, then the PPP would possibly set up a consultative council headed by Asif Zardari.

British Oxford University student, Bilawal would read out his mother’s will in the party meeting today.
