Guess Who The Politician Baby Is In The Picture

Mohtarma Shaheed Benazir Bhutto was the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996.

Benazir Bhutto – Early Life

She was born on June 21, 1953, in Karachi, Pakistan, the eldest child of former premier Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

She went on to found the Pakistan People’s Party and serve as the nation’s prime minister (from 1971 to 1977).

Bhutto attended Radcliffe College from 1969 to 1973 and then enrolled at Harvard University, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in comparative government.

It was then onto the United Kingdom, where she studied at Oxford University from 1973 to 1977, completing a course in international law and diplomacy.

Leader Of The PPP

Bhutto returned to Pakistan in 1977 and was placed under house arrest after the military coup led by General Mohammad Zia ul-Haq overthrew her father’s government.

One year after Zia ul-Haq became president in 1978, the elder Bhutto was hanged after his conviction on charges of authorizing the murder of an opponent.

Benazir Bhutto had also served as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996. She had become the first woman to head a democratic government in a Muslim majority nation.

Her struggles for democracy are already a part of our history and a source of inspiration for the party workers.

Benazir Bhutto Assassination

Bhutto was killed when an assassin fired shots and then blew himself up after an election campaign rally in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007.

The attack also killed 28 others and wounded at least another 100.

She had died after hitting her head on part of her vehicle’s sunroof.
