Abdul Qadir Baloch meets Zardari, Bilawal

ISLAMABAD: In a political development on Thursday, former federal minister Lt-Gen (retd) Abdul Qadir Baloch held a meeting with Pakistan People’s Party leaders Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari at Zardari House.

The meeting gave birth to rumours that Baloch was joining the PPP. When contacted, the PPP senior leaders did not say anything about the rumours.

The PPP media office only posted a picture of the meeting, with a statement that Abdul Qadir Baloch held a meeting with Zardari and Bilawal in which overall political situation was discussed.

PPP leader from Balochistan and ex-deputy chairman Senate Sabir Baloch was also present in the meeting.

Baloch, who served as a federal minister in the PMLN government, and was also the president of PMLN Balochistan, left the party after a hard-hitting speech by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in a PDM rally.
