Aseefa Bhutto Zardari — daughter of President Asif Ali Zardari — after becoming a member of the National Assembly (MNA) for the first time, has now been given the status of the First Lady of Pakistan.
Aseefa won unopposed on the Nawabshah by-election seat. She has now been given the protocol of the country’s First Lady on arrival at the Parliament House on Tuesday.
NA Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq administered the oath to Aseefa Bhutto in the National Assembly session.
The status of the First Lady goes to the wife of the President of the country in general. But Zardari became a widower after his wife and former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007.
Zardari did not remarry and the position of the first lady also remained vacant during his first tenure as the country's president from 2008 to 2013.
Aseefa during Zardari's first term was a teenager and currently, she is 31 years old.
