Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Jr., son of the late Mir Murtaza Bhutto, has officially confirmed his intention to enter politics, aiming to revive and lead the Pakistan Peoples Party Shaheed Bhutto (PPP-SB) faction founded by his father. Expressing deep commitment to his family’s political legacy, Bhutto Jr. emphasized his desire to connect with the people, learn from their struggles, and address critical national issues.
A key focus of his political agenda is the worsening water crisis in Sindh, which he described as a matter of “life and death,” going so far as to call the lack of water a form of “cultural genocide.” His stance underscores the urgent need for sustainable water management policies in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh, where water shortages have severely impacted agriculture and livelihoods.
Bhutto Jr. also stressed the importance of fresh leadership in Pakistan’s political landscape, advocating for greater involvement of young and dynamic individuals in governance. However, while he has expressed his political ambitions, he clarified that he currently holds no formal position within PPP-SB and is in a phase of listening, engaging, and understanding the diverse voices of Pakistan.
His entry into politics is expected to generate significant interest, particularly among those who resonate with the Bhutto legacy and seek a renewed vision for the PPP-SB. As he embarks on this journey, all eyes will be on how he shapes his political strategy and addresses the pressing issues facing the country.
