PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has said that he challenged PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif for a public debate as he is the candidate for the premiership.

Asked in a podcast interview with Talha Ahad why he did not challenge Nawaz’s daughter Maryam, Bilawal said he simply challenged someone who was his equivalent; Bilawal is the PPP’s candidate for the role of the prime minister while Nawaz is the PML-N’s.

“I have a lot of respect for Mian sahib and everybody but we have no personal issues,” the PPP chairman said.
