KARACHI: The unofficial wedding date of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto's daughter, Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari with her fiancé, Mahmood Choudhary has been revealed by PPP leaders.
The wedding festivities of Bakhtawar Bhutto — the sister of party chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and daughter of former president Asif Zardari — will commence on January 27, 2021, PPP leaders disclosed on Thursday.
However, no official announcement has been issued from the Bilawal House.

The PPP leaders familiar with the matter informed Geo Urdu that the nikkah ceremony of Bakhtawar and Mahmood Choudhary will take place on January 29, whereas the valima — reception — is scheduled a day later on January 30.
Family feud continues
Unfortunately, however, the Bhutto family's political differences have not been resolved even at the joyous occasion of Bakhtawar's marriage. This means that neither Ghinwa Bhutto — the daughter-in-law of the bride's grandfather and PPP founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto — nor her family have received an invitation to the wedding.
