Bakhtawar Bhutto, 17, has been made head of the Pakistan Peoples party’s (PPP) women’s wing. The eldest daughter of Benazir Bhutto, the assassinated former prime minister of Pakistan, took her first steps on the political ladder last week with her appointment to a high-profile post in the party her mother once led. Bakhtawar Bhutto promised to play a prominent role in the campaign for women’s equality and said that she had not ruled out a career in politics. She said that she will be helping the people in Pak and will continue the mission started by her mom.
Her 19-year-old brother, Bilawal, an Oxford undergraduate, was appointed co-chairman of the PPP along with Bhutto’s widower, Asif Ali Zardari, within days of the assassination and is widely seen as a future leader of the party. Asif Ali Zardari was addressing Sindh cabinet members at a dinner hosted by him in their honour at Bilawal House here on Sunday evening, said a statement issued on Sunday.
Dilating on political issues Asif Zardari said we welcomed the long marchers to Islamabad because we are democratic otherwise it is history that no government allowed a rally of even 1,000 in the Federal Capital but we allowed 30,000 people to march into Islamabad to exercise their democratic rights.
The PPP Co-Chairman said his party will change the system adding that it was sagacious politics of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, which made President Pervez Musharraf shed his uniform and hold elections.
He said it would again be PPP alone to send General Musharraf home but it would be done at PPP’s own choice of time. We want to give a walk-away to Musharraf, he said.
