Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the 'Gen-Next' politician of Pakistan, nearly put his foot on his mouth by announcing that his Pakistan People's Party (PPP)n will get the whole of Kashmir back from India.

The 20-something year old politician was addressing his  party workers in Multan region in Punjab when he made the highly controversial statement that has invited some strong responses from this side of the border.

"I will take back Kashmir, all of it, and I will not leave behind a single inch of it because, like the other provinces, it belongs to Pakistan," said the scion of highly influential Bhutto family.

"I will establish my party in South Punjab and Kashmir," Bilawal was quoted as saying.

Apparently, Bilawal made these remarks in attendance of former prime ministers Yousaf Raza Gilani and Raja Pervaiz Asharaf.

Bilawal, who will be contesting the next general elections in 2018, is the leader of the secular Pakistan People's Party, which officially wants to foster good ties with India.

Bilawal's mother, former slain premier Benazir Bhutto, was twice elected as prime minister of Pakistan while his maternal grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who founded the PPP in 1967, also served as prime minister of the counry in 1970s.

Bilawal's father Asif Ali Zardari was the president of Pakistan from 2008 to 2013.
