ISLAMABAD – Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman revealed on Tuesday that he was not invited to the wedding of Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, daughter of former president Asif Ali Zardari.

The Mehndi function of Bakhtawar, who was engaged to the son of a UAE-based businessman in December, is set to take place on Jan 27.

The Nikkah will be held on January 29 while the Barat is scheduled for January 30. Bakhtawar’s fiancé Mahmood Chaudhry had arrived in Karachi earlier this week on Flight EK600.

In a simple engagement ceremony in November last year, the couple had exchanged rings amid celebratory shouts and claps from the guests, who included a few senior politicians, PPP leaders, business giants, real estate tycoons, prominent lawyers, some legislators and close relatives at Bilawal House.

PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, who was in self-isolation after testing positive for Covid-19 that time, had joined the engagement ceremony through video link.
