Fatima Bhutto names her baby after father Murtaza
The child is named “Mir Murtaza Byra”, after Fatima’s father Mir Murtaza Bhutto.
“We wanted to give our son a name that would bestow him with courage and kindness as he makes his way through the world. I wanted a name that would act as an inspiration to him in his life but also one that would cloak him in love and strength, a name that he could wear with the knowledge that it was given to him from deep within his mother’s heart and soul to protect him throughout his life, to give him in equal measure both grace and fearlessness, a sense of his homeland and of joy,” she wrote in her social media post.
She further stated: “Every time I thought of what name might do that, I always came back to my beloved father’s name.”
Fatima Bhutto has requested her fans and followers to keep her family in prayers at a time of happiness.
Taking to Instagram, her brother Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Junior also shared the happy news.
“It is with great joy that I announce the arrival of my nephew, Mir Murtaza Byra, grand son of Mir Murtaza Bhutto.”
Zulfikar added that his sister and brother-in-law have “given our house new light and our legacy a new beautiful spirit. Please keep our family in your prayers. Jeay Mir Murtaza Bhutto.”
