Karachi, May 1

Fatima Bhutto, author, activist and granddaughter of Pakistan’s late PM Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, set a new precedent by visiting a Hindu temple here after her marriage, stirring the social media with some users praising the gesture and others wondering what she was doing there.

The nikah ceremony of Fatima, 40, niece of slain premier Benazir Bhutto and daughter of Murtaza Bhutto, took place at her grandfather’s library here on Friday. Fatima and her husband Graham Gibran visited the ancient Mahadev Temple as a homage to Hindu Sindhis laying the roots of Karachi in ancient times. According to media reports, Fatima’s husband is an American citizen. Accompanied by her brother Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Junior and Hindu leaders, Fatima and her husband, a Christian, poured milk over the deity as per rituals.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
