Zardari wants Bilalwal to become a Sufi Saint


President Asif Ali Zardari plans to spend a considerable time to “monasticize” his son Bilawal, who heads the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) as chairman, as he returns home in September after finishing his studies at Oxford University.

“He also requires to know about Makhdoom Bilawal Samo, Baba Bulleh Shah, Shah Bhatai and other Sufi saints, especially he must learn about Makhdoom Samo on whose name me and BB sahiba have named him. It was a desire of BB sahiba that Bilawal follows Makhdoom Samo and become a Sufi” Zardari said according to a visitor to the Presidency. Recently, the Presidency announced that Bilawal would not be given any political responsibility in the PPP in near future.

Before taking up his political role, Bilawal, accompanied by PPP Secretary General Jehangir Badr, would visit Tibet, China. The main agenda of his tour is to visit Budhist monasteries and meet monks to learn different arts of
meditation.

Sources said that the President is very impressed with the political influence of different political "Makhdooms", like Ameen Fahim, Yousaf Raza Gilani, Shah Mahmood, Javed Hashmi, and Faisal Saleh Hayat etc. And wishes that his son will also enjoy the same following once he becomes a Sufi saint.
