Pakistan’s goodwill ambassador for Polio Eradication and daughter of President Asif Ali Zardari Asifa Bhutto Zardari again made it clear that polio was a deadly disease and the government was trying its best to make Pakistan polio free.
Asifa expressed these views while talking to BBC (Urdu Service).
“Diseases know no borders and mankind has a collective responsibility towards children of the world and together we must strive to ensure that tomorrow’s world is free of this scourge,” she said.
She said the government would not rest until the scourge had been completely eliminated.
She also called upon philanthropists to come forward and help in the drive.
To a question, Asifa said she was honored to be the Pakistan’s Goodwill Ambassador for Polio Eradication, adding that her mother had started the polio campaign and she wanted to follow in her footsteps.
She said polio was a menace and contacts were important so that she could interact with people and ensure that it could be prevented.
In another question, she said the president inaugurated National Polio Emergency Plan in 2011, adding that polio was a crippling disease and continued to threaten children. “Unfortunately Pakistan is among the few countries, which are still not completely polio free.”

  1. How did she become qualified to be a goodwill ambassador? She needs to go back to sucking lolipos. The day isn't too far when she'd be sucking a General's lolipop to get her father out of prison again. I do have to admit that she looks much more doable than her sister bakhtawar 🙂

  3. She is not a goodwill ambassador,she earns a big salary thanks to her daddy g.Goodwill is done on voluntary grounds,

  4. Moderator – Are you sleeping ? this is a public forum and what are you doing – you must block these stupid users immediately…

  5. Moderator – i demand removing of above comments by @Daddy and @danishkhan immediately – freedom of speech does not mean insulting popular figures… and leaders.

    • @home-grown. Who are you calling popular? Asifa zardari? Just because you have wet dreams about her does not make her popular. She may be notorious but definately not popular. And get over this demand thing. You don't go around demanding things. You may make a request but definately can't demand. And now that you have exercised your freedom of speech, you may go back to sucking your mama's nipple 🙂
