As many as five ceremonies were held in Lahore on Friday to pay homage to country’s first ever female prime minister.
The cake-cutting ceremonies were held at Governor House, PPP secretariat Model Town, Makhdoom House Model Town, Mall Road and at the residence of Aziz ur Rehman Chan in Gulberg separately.

Born on June 21, 1953, at Pinto Nursing Home in Karachi, Benazir Bhutto followed in the footsteps of her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, becoming a prominent figure in both national and international politics.
In 1982, Benazir was elected chairperson of the PPP, and after enduring exile, she returned triumphantly to Pakistan in 1986, receiving an unprecedented reception in Lahore.
Following a historic electoral victory in 1988, Benazir Bhutto became Pakistan's first female Prime Minister.
