Bhutto JR revealed in a statement that he plans to start his political career with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Shaheed Bhutto Group, founded by his father, reported a local news channel.
“It’s true that I intend to get into politics and I want to start with the PPP Shaheed Bhutto group,” said Bhutto Junior.
He added that his father’s heritage remains strong and he aims to lead the group in the future.
Bhutto Jr said he still has a lot to learn from his country and its people, emphasizing that he does not yet consider himself all the answers. He is preparing for his political journey.
He also expressed concern about the water crisis in Sindh and called it a question of life and death to the people of the province.
He described the lack of water as a form of cultural genocide and emphasized that both humans and wildlife in the region would not survive without access to water.
In response to a question, Bhutto Junior said the Sindh government “shakes” as it faces rising protests, including from schoolchildren and women.
He noted that the government is moving its narrative in response to these widespread demonstrations.
