Tauqir Fatima Bhutto – How could she work effectively in this position when can not even provide her own daughter the rights to marry a person of her own choice!!!!!! She could not even save her daughter from adultery when she was a child. She is classic example of hypocrite.
Amna Bhutto, then I guess it’s not Amna’s fault that she ended up loosening her strength. It’s primarily the upbringing. The child, if committed a sin, can overcome it through repentance. And we all are sinners to varying degrees. Tauqeeer should fail as a leader as she failed as a mother. Your plea is understandable Amna, and trust me you can do a lot better.
