A few days back too, the PPP chairman Bilawal had challenged Nawaz Sharif to hold a debate on national issues. “I am PPP’s candidate for the Prime Minister post, the PML-N’s aspirant for the slot should come on television and debate with me,” he challenged.

Earlier on January 23, PML-N leader Nehal Hashmi accepted the PPP chief’s challenge for a debate on behalf of the party supremo Nawaz Sharif.

Nehal Hashmi asked Bilawal to ‘raise’ his level to Nawaz Sharif before challenging the three-time prime minister. He asked Bilawal to choose the time and place of his convenience, adding that the people will decide who is right. “Bilawal is free to pick any topic of his choice, whether it is foreign policy, economy, or social issue,” the PML-N leader added.
