Shah Nawaz Bhutto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shah Nawaz Bhutto (Urdu: شاہ نواز بھٹو) was a well known feudal lord and politician hailing from Larkana in Sindh province of Pakistan. Before the independence, he was the Dewan (minister) of Junagadh state. He was the father of the 1st elected Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He was married to Khursheed Begum.
Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto, one of the wealthiest and most influential landowners of Sindh, was a good friend of Governor General (later President) Iskander Mirza. Mirza had been a regular guest for the annual hunt in Larkana, staying at Al-Murtaza (the Bhutto family home). In the winter of 1955-1956, he brought General Ayub Khan along to Larkana for the hunt, and both generals enjoyed the hospitality of the Bhutto family.
