Asif Zardari will celebrate his 67th birthday in Dubai with his 9-month-old grandson: Bakhtawar Bhutto

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari left for Dubai, which led to some questions about why he had gone abroad at a crucial time for the coalition government.

Taking to Twitter, Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari clarified why her father is in Dubai.

“My father will be spending his 67th birthday (& first as a grandfather) with his 9 month old grandson,” tweeted Bakhtawar.

Asif Zardari will celebrate his 67th birthday tomorrow (July 26).

In an earlier tweet, Bakhtawar said that Zardari did not run away for “11+ YEARS of jail” so why would he now.

“[Zardari] faced courts under every regime including our wannabe dictator Select but never ran. 1st bday as a grandfather he’s here to spend with his grandson (who due to a medical procedure last month could not fly himself).”

Bakhtawar Bhutto gave birth to a baby boy, Mir Hakim Mahmood Choudhry, on October 10, 2021.
