Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, younger sister of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, was hurt Friday after a drone camera accidentally hit her face during the PPP’s long march in Khanewal, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Aseefa was standing on the top of the container, designed to lead the PPP’s long march, along with her brother Bilawal and other party leaders when a drone camera accidentally hit her face.
Resultantly, she sustained an injury on the forehead. She was taken down from the top of the container and given medical aid.
The PPP chairman placed his ‘Ajrak’ on the forehead of his sister. The security guards in the long march got a hold of the drone operator, and media teams were also barred from flying drone cameras.
After getting the first-aid treatment, Aseefa was shifted to Mukhtar A. Sheikh Trust Hospital of Multan for further treatment to her injury.
Addressing the workers after the incident, the PPP chairman praised the bravery of his sister and said: “Aseefa was hurt after being hit by a drone, but she was resolutely determined. When she was asked to go to the hospital, she insisted on first-aid only. The doctor in the ambulance prescribed stitches for the wound. She will come back and join the long march.”
Bilawal said that he came late to the container because he was convincing his sister to go to the hospital.
