Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry has taken a jibe at the scions of Bhutto and Sharif families, saying that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz were “political infants” incapable of ruling the country.
“Both [Bilawal and Maryam] do not have political stature to lead the country… Bilawal should first contest election of Karachi’s mayor and likewise Maryam needs to run for Lahore’s mayor,” he said while addressing the media in Punjab’s Jhelum on Saturday.

The information minister was of the view that the alliance of all opposition parties of the country could not politically defeat Prime Minister Imran Khan. “All opposition parties including PPP, PML-N, JUI-F and others faced defeat in Senate yesterday where they had a majority,” said Fawad while referring to the passage of SBP bill in opposition-dominated upper house of the parliament.
“This is a great country and those who are presenting themselves to lead the country are dwarfs,” he remarked.
He also urged Bilawal and Maryam to first work as common political worker in their own party ranks and let the other senior leaders to lead. “We have a democracy and monarchy, so they both [Maryam and Bilawal] should vacate their positions for the senior leadership,” he added.
“I am happy to know that the debate has started in PML-N that Sharif family should be replaced and other leaders should be given a chance to lead the party,” the minister remarked.

Speaking about recent rise in terrorist incidents in the country, Fawad reiterated government's resolve to eliminate all type of extremist elements in the country to ensure durable peace.
He said with the support of nation, our security institutions were ready to root out any separatist groups from the country.
Any kind of extremism including religious extremism is condemnable and media should play its positive role in this regard, he added.
The minister said Prime Minister Imran’s upcoming visit to China will help strengthen economic ties with the friendly and time-tested country. He said two more foreign visits of the premier are scheduled during the current year which will improve Pakistan's significance at international fora.
Despite various challenges, country’s economy is on right track and current year will bring more good news on economic front, Fawad insisted.
