Zulfikar Bhutto Junior enters into politics

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Junior, son of murdered politician Mir Murtaza Bhutto, has confirmed his plan to enter politics.

Zulfiqar Bhutto Jr, in a statement, said that he plans to start political career with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Shaheed Bhutto group, which was founded by his father, a local news channel reported.

“It is true I will begin with the PPP Shaheed Bhutto group,” Bhutto Junior said. 

He added that his father’s legacy remains strong, and he aims to lead the group in the future. Bhutto Jr stated that he still has much to learn from his country and its people, emphasising that he does not yet consider himself to have all the answers. He is preparing for his political journey. He also expressed concern over the water crisis in Sindh, calling it a matter of life and death for the people of the province. He described the lack of water as a form of cultural genocide, stressing that both humans and wildlife in the region would not survive without access to water. 

To a question, Bhutto Junior said Sindh government is shifting its narrative in the wake of widespread demonstrations against construction of new canal on indus river.
