Pakistan People’s Party-Shaheed Bhutto group chief Ghinwa Bhutto announced that her daughter Fatima Bhutto will compete for a seat in the National Assembly during the next elections. Speaking at an event the widow of Murtaza Bhutto said Fatima will contest the elections from Liaquatpur, NA-192. Fatima is a writer and the granddaughter of PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and niece of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. While she supports her mother in the socio-political arena, Fatima herself has noted on previous occasions that she has no desire to run for public office and has “rule[d] a political career out entirely because of the effect of dynasties on Pakistan,” referring to the Bhutto family’s political dynasty that continues with her cousin Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, chairperson of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party.
Fatima bhutto– daughter of ghinwa bhutto– same ghinwa bhutto who did not attend funeral of mother of her murdered husband murtza bhutto brother of benazir bhutto !!!! so bhutto name when it suits and mudsling bhutto name when profitable by moneys given by anti PPP agents !!!!
Good to have a learned person in Pakistani politics. Lets give more importance to those alive and toour country instead of looking up to individuals and party politics.
What does a learned person mean lol,she's going to run on her name,not because she has been fighting for the people of Pakistan,give me a break,she has no clue to what suffering means,what hunger means,whats it like to sit in the dark with no gas on a cold night.
You dont have to be hungry to be a great leader..butI get your point!
You misunderstood my point about what hunger means but thanks for your comment
does any of the present politicians know all that you are saying, but let us give her a chance, never know what new face may bring ?
Why would I give a chance to someone who has no clue about politics,no sense of reality.If thats the case then lets just elect someone off the street and give them a chance.Just because her last name is Bhutto does not mean we line up to elect her.Her grand father Zulfy was the only one half way good until he lost his marbles,the rest have been useless in my opinion.
I have heard her speak and give interviews to western media. She is one of the more sane voices in politics. She does not seem to be power hungry and corrupt. While we don't know how she may turn out if elected, we do know what we have with the elected people at present. I think if elected, she would portray a good image for Pakistan and fight for peace, justice and transparency and merit. I wish her well and I do hope she decides to enter the political arena.
Marhaba ya Fatima…. This is yours fathers land, come and rule. Your father was sort of Terorist with name of his Organaization "Al-Zulfiqar".
Baba g Pakistan does not need anyone to come and rule,Pakistan needs someone to come and lead the people and the country forward where there is peace and harmony,no shortage of power,education and to top it off,no corruption.
Nice to hear that she is taking part in this election. She is educated lady like Benazir Bhutto and should see her personal background than you can find her more suitable than so called actual Bhutto. She is not using any once name in her election formalities; like others always used. If you see the background of ruling President than you will realize the actual facts. Fatima is living in Pakistan for years and Zardari family is living in England for decades. How these people are living in England with out having any proper business and were they are getting money to spend and how much tax they have paid in past years. For God shake please open your eyes and give vote to proper candidate with any any biasness and any personal interest and for the country's future.
Mr Shah! don't be so Nero-minded. Be open minded. Open your eyes with reality and facts.You are pro PPP person. Please do some thing positive for our loving country. Enemies are trying to abolished our country. You guys are indirectly helping them. Coming generation will never forget and forgive you guys, like Mir sadiq and Mir Jaffer.
atif mian- no body can abolish pakistan .. fatima bhutto -like her mother ghinwa -has shown NO respect for her father aunt and grandfather while living off bhutto moneys and name .. and you atif seems to be MIR jaffer BECAUSE YOU CANNOT FACE THE FACTS AND YOU EVEN THINK THAT PAKISTAN CAN BE ABOLISHED BY ENEMIES .. BLIND AND DEAF BIASED ARE PAKISTAN INTERNAL ENEMIES -LIKE U ATIF .. we have our informed comments -u have yours –thats that — and next time no more nonsense about calling me mir jaffer !!!!!
fatima bhutto — rich widow mother — can fatima make daal roti even for herself ? clearly fatima is opportunist who wonna thrive on bhutto name fame moneys .. why dynastic politics in pakistan ? sure – PTI shall welcome fatima bhutto ..
I think you need to wake up and smell the daal roti,Imran Khan's ideas are unrealistic,just because he read some books on history does not make him a leader.He will never win.By the wayI could careless if he wins,or even someone else,anybody got to be better then Zardari and the Sharifs,he couldn't possibly do any worse.
This news has bounced back as Fatima Bhutto has denied initiating her political career yet.

we just had daal roti — wonderful ! home cooked ! last night we had nice dinner at islamabad grill with american friends who also love daal roti .. amazing though ghinwa bhutto gives interview to media about fatima political ambitions and fatima denies such flights of fancy .. mother ghinwa and daughter fatima live together .. dont they talk to each other ? problem is both bilawal bhutto and fatima bhutto have dual nationality passports — so cannot contest elections .. and fauzia kasuri of PTI also has dual nationality — as she had to confess on live tv a few weeks ago … fauzia kasuri seemed very angry on tv when confronted with evidence .. this dual nationality issue is going to keep many good pakistanis away from elections .. pity !!! and to think that arslan chaudhary son of chief justice chaudhary has already applied for foreign nationality for himself and family –very amazing given cj chaudhary decision against dual nationality… dont father chaudhary mian and son arslan talk to each other because arslan and family live in cj official residence with his father ? DO AS I ORDER ..NOT AS I DO !!! YES SIR CHAUDHARY MIAN ..
Pity you still don't get the point or law behind dual nationality/Let me try one more time,anyone can go and get dual nationality in Pakistan,but if you do,you cannot run for election.No political person can hold office or a position if he or she has dual nationality.Now go and eat your daal roti,by the way,I love daal roti too,I call it Pakistan's national food.

Side-by-side, she compares a whole lot better qualified than Bilal …
I trust her integrity over other princelings …
.
I also give her more points in knowing the aspirations and challenges of common people first-hand …
.
i read all blogs of Shah Husain, i absolutely agree with him. Facts are facts.
Fatima bhuttois welcome toncontest the elections, She can provide leadership by her hard work . She is educated ,experiencedin family politics and comes from a well known political fmilyBut the famiy name is not enough th make it a success story. She is smart, good lookind sultry , and modest young brash women. She needs to keep a distance fromGhanawa Bhutto, the widow of Slain Murtaza Bhutto
I think Fatima suffer ed from cold feet and could not make a decision to enter politics at this time., I have confidence in her abilities. She can make a better politician thab the present lot in the politics. The people of Pskistan hold her in great esteem, because she belongs to Bhutto family. They are aware of her tragic prst and struggle waged after the assassination of her father in a bizzaar fashion by the law enforcing agencies during his sister's regime. Off course B.B was not instrumental in his killing , but Fatima blames her and Zardari.
Did you recieve my comment sent earlier because there was no indication to its being sent to you. Some error was shown with the message that it will be moderated. Confusing thing.
Fatima has lost the opportunity to arrest the moment in her hands and act upon the conscience . She is a smart girl , she should realize that these golden opportunities do not knock on the door every day. Grab them while they are there. Simply the beast thing to do.
I have bitter experiences of losing opportunities too. But have learne from them.
