Describing former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari as an “immature political child,” Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party has slammed him for suggesting that Islamabad could extradite “individuals of concern” to India as a confidence-building measure.

Reacting to Bilawal’s remarks, Sheikh Waqas Akram, spokesperson of the jailed former PM, said Bilawal’s proposal was ill-advised and detrimental to Pakistan’s national security narrative, and such statements humiliate the country on international platforms, he said.

“We fail to understand why Bilawal is so keen on appeasing India,” he said. The former foreign minister, Akram said, was proving time and again that he lacked political wisdom, vision, and understanding of regional geopolitics.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
