ISLAMABAD, July 2: Asifa Zardari, the youngest daughter of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto, arrived here on Wednesday to spend summer vacations with her jailed father Asif Ali Zardari.

The 10-year-old Asifa arrived by an Emirates Airlines flight (EK-614) which landed at Islamabad Airport at 4.45am.

She was received at the airport by Asif Ali Zardari’s sister Dr Azra Afzal, who is also an MNA from Nawabshah, and Asif Zardari’s personal assistant Qurban Khosa.

Asifa was taken straight to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences which had been declared a sub-jail where Asif Ali Zardari had been kept for the past over two years. Tight security measures had been adopted on the occasion despite the fact that the arrival programme of Asifa was kept a secret.

Asifa has arrived after an accountability court on June 4 allowed all the three children of Benazir Bhutto to spend vacations with their father.

The permission was granted on an application of Mr Zardari in which he had stated that his children, who were studying in Dubai, intended to stay with him during their summer vacations.
