The National Assembly of Pakistan just swore in Imran Khan as the Prime Minister, and the Assembly Floor was no less than a battleground. Bilawal Bhutto, as Chairman of the Pakistan People’s Party(PPP), was due to make his maiden speech in the National Assembly.
It’s the first time BB has been elected into the NA and he has had his fair share of trolling.
With people making fun of his accent, his Urdu, his voice, to his effeminate demeanor. And people honestly did not expect much of him.
But BOY, DID HE DELIVER!
He delivered a speech that covered all bases; from the 100 days plan to PTI’s promise of not taking loans. He assured the Assembly that PPP would play an active role in the Parliament and the affairs of the state.
When he stood up, the Assembly was in an uproar and that is when he delivered this iconic dialogue!
“Shahbaz Sharif sahib, aap ka time tou ho gayaaa.“
And people found it HILARIOUS!
"Shahbaz Sharif sahab aapka time tou hogaya hai."
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA BILAWAL YAAR AMAZE.

People really, REALLY loved the speech.
Bilawal Bhutto stole the show.
Realisticly Speaking The opening of the speech (tribute to shuhda )which i was expecting from Ik surprisingly Bilawal Bhutto delivered it.
Each and every word he uttered left great impression. A Very mature and impressive speech by @BBhuttoZardari— Rai Bilal Ahmad (@BeelalRai) August 17, 2018
Bilawal Bhutto paid tribute to Haroon bilour ,Siraj risani and all the martyrs of martyred during electoral campaigns last month in his first speech as Member of Parliament today a composed and dignified speech ,on other hand Ik speech as elected P M failed to impress .

After listening to his speech for a couple of times he changed my perception that i had for him as a party leader and potentially someday becoming the PM of Pakistan from paying a tribute to the real hero’s of our country to being so calm and cool in his speech! #bilawalBhutto https://t.co/hvs5Exhq6c

During his speech, Bilawal very kindly, reminded PM Imran Khan, of the promises he made to the people.
‘I would like to remind our PM-Elect of some of the promises he made. I believe he said that he’d rather commit suicide than take a begging bowl to ask for loans. I believe he said he would not go to the IMF.’
People took notice of that too.
#Bilawal Bhutto wishes Imran Khan of Pakistan good luck, also reminds his promise of rooting out corruption, resolving water crisis and providing one billion jobs and 5 million houses to the people in 100-Days.

Above all only Mr Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's opening speech was vibrant and enthusiastic. And he schooled Mr Prime Minister Imran Khan. Well anyways lets see you after your 1st 100 days. Let's see what change you bring.

Bilawal also called Imran Khan out for his remarks about Pakistanis.
“He’s also the Prime Minister of those Pakistanis he called zinda laashain. He is also the Prime Minister of those he called donkeys. He is also the Prime Minister of those he referred to as goats and sheep.”
He was appreciated for the same.
YAS! Bilawal Bhutto congratulates PM elect Imran khan and reminds him that he is now the PM of entire nation; even those who he called donkeys and slaves. Should work together. #PPP

" …He is also the Prime Minister of Pakistanis he called Zinda Lashen, he's also Prime Minister of those Pakistanis he called Donkeys….."
Bilawal you beauty, massive respect, seems like a serious candidate for the future PM of Pakistan. #PPP #BilawalBhutto @mhabdalian— Rizwan Shah (@nomekool) August 17, 2018
I congratulate Prime Minister – “SELECT” for becoming the Prime Minister of all those who he called Donkeys, Sheeps and goats.
Bilawal Bhutto Nailed it.— Mustafa Kamal (@mrahi248) August 17, 2018
He ended the speech by congratulating Imran Khan.
“Lastly, I would like to thank and congratulate Prime Minister-Select and wish him good luck.”
Bilawal’s not-so-innocent use of the word ‘select’ sent Twitter in to fits of laughter.
And I would like to conclude by wishing the Prime Minister-select, Good Luck: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as he concluded his maiden speech in Parliament
… that's 'select' btw

IMRAN KHAN DID NOT GET THE BILAWAL BHUTTO JIBE "CONGRATULATIONS PM SELECT" AND THUMBED THE DESK AFTER THIS VERY SENTENCE HAS TO BE THE HIGHEST POINT IN THE ASSEMBLY PROCEEDING TODAY.
— Fatah (@fatah_pak) August 17, 2018
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said "Prime Minister Select" and PTI walas didn't got the meaning 🤣🤣🤣
— Emran Brohi (@ibrohi31) August 17, 2018
Beautifully criticised the system.
Remembered martyrs of elections.
Called Imran khan a "PM select" in his eyes.Welcome to Naya Pakistan #BilawalBhutto
— Imran Khan (@beinggImranKhan) August 17, 2018
Overall, people loved the maturity and dignity that BB’s speech reflected!
Bilawal Bhutto showing men twice his age how it’s done! Excellent Maiden Speech!
— Maria Memon (@Maria_Memon) August 17, 2018
Bilawal Bhutto's speech putting veteran politicians' to shame. Have my issues with PPP but genuinely looking forward to seeing him in opposition.
— R. (@rahimaxarsenal) August 17, 2018
Once again, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari demonstrates more maturity & greater clarity about the process he is a part of than either IK or SS.
So grateful, as a Pakistani, that he spoke of Haroon Bilour, Siraj Raisani, Ikramullah Gandapur & all others martyred in terror attacks.
— Mosharraf Zaidi (@mosharrafzaidi) August 17, 2018
Bilawal Bhutto should be the opposition leader tbh would help keep PTI on its toes and deliver! Proper democracy.
— Qasim Farooq (@MangoLassC) August 17, 2018
A lot of people, however, criticized BB’s speech since PPP is also a problematic, and corrupt party.
L O L @ the losers going gaga over bilawal bhutto’s speech. Because if eloquence is what makes you a hero then aung san suu kyi is an undisputed champion of all things global humanity and democracy
— mm (@cosmicavacado) August 17, 2018
Baby Bilawal Bhutto! For a minute i got carried away by ur speech. But then i said, what the fuck?! U incompetent retards had ur way with this country for the last ten years and u gave us nothing but corruption and bad governance. Change is on its way and by God u cant stop it!
— Khurram Mehmood (@khurramkibaat) August 17, 2018
Reminder: don’t let Bilawal Bhutto’s intellectual speech make you ignore the draught in Thar.
Let’s not fall for words, their words are just as their actions in Sindh, hollow.— Ayeshay (@champagne_lassi) August 17, 2018
Bilawal Bhutto is very good at delivering choreographed speeches. Considering PPP's performance, he should replace "Roti Kapra Makaan" with "Unchi dukan pheeka pakwan" slogan #BilawalBhutto
— Asfandyar Bhittani (@BhittaniKhannnn) August 17, 2018
Here’s the kickass speech, btw. In case you still haven’t heard it.
Bilawal’s speech was the epitome of maturity and eloquence. And it will also be nice to see if PPP can bring about actual reforms in Sindh, since actions do speak louder than words. Jo bhi hai yaar, filhaal bwoy ne dil jeet liya!
