PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that during the previous PML-N-led coalition government, ex-premier Shehbaz Sharif’s role was “sabotaged” and his authority was undermined.

In a podcast interview with Talha Ahad, he said: “I sometimes feel sorry for the man — Shehbaz Sharif sahib was sabotaged from within his own party.”

Referring to the super floods of monsoon 2022, the PPP chairman said the country had a “golden opportunity” to manage its economy and realign its development outline.

However, he went on to say, “The finance minister was changed, and then I saw how, unfortunately, the prime minister’s authority did not work in the same way after that in the finance ministry and a unique approach was taken for which I can give no justification.”
