Recently, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari arrived in India to attend a two-day meeting of foreign ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). It was claimed on social media that during his trip to India, he paid tribute to the Indian soldiers who were martyred in the Kargil war.
Dr. Fatima, a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, posted a picture of Bilawal Bhutto on her social media account. In the picture, he can be seen placing a wreath at a monument. Dr. Fatima captioned the picture claiming that, “Bilawal Bhutto, who lacks self-respect, went to the graves of Indian soldiers killed in the Kargil war and laid flowers there. This is the end of shameless corrupt rulers of thieves!”
