KARACHI – Pakistan’s top political leaders have been invited to attend the wedding ceremony of Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari, the eldest daughter of the former president Asif Ali Zardari and slain premier Benazir Bhutto.
Reports say Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders including Maryam Nawaz, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Ahsan Iqbal are among those who have been invited to the event at Bilawal House.
They will reportedly attend the main function of Barat to be held on January 30.
The development comes a day after Fazlur Rehman revealed that Zardari had not invited him to the wedding function.
Meanwhile, spokesperson of the PML-N confirmed the unavailability of the vice president due to other engagement.
