Fatima Bhutto denies contesting election from NA-192

Fatima Bhutto, granddaughter of former premier Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and daughter of the late Murtaza Bhutto, on Sunday denied news about her advent into politics for the upcoming polls.

Bhutto posted an update on her Twitter account saying, “The story published in a daily newspaper exists only in the galloping imagination of the author. It is obviously, wildly untrue.”

Earlier, a ,media report had quoted her mother, Ghinwa Bhutto, as saying that Fatima has decided to put long standing speculations to rest and embark on a political career.

The report noted, “Pakistan People’s Party-Shaheed Bhutto (PPP-SB) Chairperson Ghinwa Bhutto announced that Fatima – granddaughter of former premier Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and daughter of the late Murtaza Bhutto – will compete in the upcoming elections from Liaquatpur town of Liaqatpur tehsil in Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab for the NA-192 seat.”

Fatima, who has published a deeply controversial book on the life and times for her late father, has been a vocal critic of the current government run by her estranged relatives. She has, for years, rubbished the chances of entering politics.
