For a while, the social media rumour mill almost made Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari the newest member

For a while, the social media rumour mill almost made Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari the newest member of a European royal family, only for the Pakistan Peoples Party to step in and shut the rumours down .

Daily Ausaf, a Pakistani-based Urdu daily newspaper, also reported that wedding preparations were under way, citing unspecified sources. Wahab’s clarification was posted on X late on Saturday night. The claims, which spread widely on social media, suggested that Pak President Zardari had travelled to Liechtenstein, a small sovereign state located between Switzerland and Austria, to discuss and finalise a date for his son’s wedding. The report claimed that President Zardari was currently on a private tour of Europe in connection with the matter. This report was later deleted.

It came after reports began circulating that Bilawal, 38, the son of Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari, was preparing to marry into a European family.

Karachi Mayor and PPP leader Murtaza Wahab has dismissed reports of the party chairman’s engagement and wedding as “incorrect and unfounded”.
