Citizens were barred from entering Karachi Zoo on Tuesday as Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s daughter, Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, visited the facility.
Aseefa interacted with a few people in the zoo, took photos of the animals and spent more than half an hour there.
In a Twitter post, Aseefa said that she had met some families who were having a picnic and also inquired about the health of the animals. Security was beefed up around the zoo before and during her visit.
“Contrary to media reports, no people were stopped from entering the zoo. I interacted with the general public,” she said in a Twitter post.
