          Son Bilawal unhappy with President Zardari's mild response to religious radicalization in Pak ISLAMABAD: Ruling Pakistan People's Party's nominal head Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has reportedly expressed his "displeasure" at his father President Asif Ali Zardari's "watered down response" to the killing of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer by a police guard with links to extremists. Bilawal, who has been playing a greater ro 廬山溫泉le in the affairs of the PPP since Zardari travelled to Dubai last week for the treatment of a heart condition, has "independent opinions about events as well as party affairs", a party insider said. "At one of the meetings, he (Bilawal) expressed his displeasure over his father's watered down response to the killing of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer. H 花蓮旅遊e thought President Zardari should have taken a stronger position to denounce religious radicalisation that led to the Governor's murder," the unnamed party insider told the Dawn newspaper. Party insiders disputed the popular perception that Bilawal is young and may not have developed his political faculties. The 23-year-old Bilawal, who is ineligible to become a member o 花蓮民宿f parliament till September 2013, was thrust into a central position by his father's abrupt departure to Dubai. Bilawal seems keen on performing his role as PPP chairman, particularly with regard to upcoming polls to the Senate or upper house of parliament in March next year and the general election in 2013, the party insiders said. "He will lead the manifesto and programme development for the 吉安民宿 party for the next general elections," said one source. In recent days, Bilawal has sat in on key meetings chaired by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani that discussed the President's health and national security issues related to the November 26 cross-border NATO attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. "Bilawal is in Pakistan on the instructions of President Zardari as he wants to dispel an impression that h 花蓮住宿e and his family have fled," presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar told the Dawn. Babar said Bilawal was formally named the PPP chairman after his mother Benazir Bhutto's assassination but had not been performing his role because of his studies. "Now he has completed his education and is getting engaged in different political activities," he said. The PPP had announced that Bilawal's political career would be formally lau 花蓮民宿nched on August 7 last year in Birmingham but the event was subsequently cancelled after criticism that President Zardari was undertaking a visit to Britain at a time when the people of Sindh had been devastated by catastrophic floods.Zardari's health improving, says PM GilaniISLAMABAD: Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, who is undergoing treatment in Dubai for heart complications, is showing improvement and expected to make an "early recovery", authoriti 酒店經紀es and doctors said, as speculation about his health refused to die down here. 56-year-old Zardari was resting in a Dubai hospital on the advice of doctors, Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani told a TV news channel on Saturday evening. "He (President Zardari) is improving," Gilani said. Gilani said the President, who was feeling comfortable, had talked to him on phone on Friday when former Premier Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and ex-Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Ilahi called on him at the Prime M 港式飲茶inister House. In a related development, a health bulletin issued from Dubai last evening by Zardari's personal physician said: "The President is making smooth progress and feels better. The treating doctors are confident about an early recovery." The bulletin did not give details about Zardari's ailment or say when he is likely to be discharged from hospital. When he was asked about the speculation on Zardari's health, Gilani said: "Anybody can fall sick and he (Zardari) is also an average huma 台北港式飲茶n being." He said he and Zardari's family had insisted that the President should go abroad for medical tests and treatment. Gilani cited "security reasons" as the caused for the advice given to Zardari to go abroad. He recalled that there were some security threats when Zardari's late father Hakim Ali Zardari was admitted to a hospital in Islamabad earlier this year.
