Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday said that members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were as angry with the government as the public. 

"The puppet government has been exposed across the country. We have shown that their own members are afraid of the government," Bilawal was quoted as saying by Geo News. 

As the polling for 37 seats of Pakistan's Senate is underway, the PPP chairman stated that even a single vote more would be a bonus for the party to lead in the elections for the Upper House of the Parliament. 

Bilawal further remarked that Prime Minister Imran Khan will be 'ousted' with the collective effort of the people and the Opposition. "We will get him [Imran Khan] out of here together. PDM is with the people," he said.

Buffett has been identifying valuable companies and buying a portion of them such as Coca-Cola, American Express, Apple, General Motors, and more. The latest letter released by Buffett on Saturday offered similar engaging insights apart from offering an account of how Berkshire fared in the past year.

Published ahead of the company's annual general meeting (AGM), the latest letter revealed Buffett's 'mistake' that led to $11 billion loss, his unwavering belief in the American dream, caution to bond investors against a 'bleak future', buying back more Berkshire stock this year, the new venue for the AGM and much more.

India is negotiating with Bangladesh to take back 81 Rohingyas whose boat drifted into its territorial waters in mid-February.

Eight Rohingyas on that boat have already died and one has gone missing, possibly drowned in the Andaman sea.

"We are in discussions with the Government of Bangladesh to ensure their safe and secure repatriation," MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava has said.

However, a Bangladesh foreign ministry press release has made clear the country's unwillingness to take back the sea-stranded Rohingyas on ground that their boat is far away from the country's territorial waters.
