In love and strength: Fatima Bhutto welcomes son, names him after father Murtaza

Author and her husband Graham announce the birth of a baby boy

Fatima Bhutto, the granddaughter of former prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, took to Instagram to announce the joyous news of the birth of her baby boy with her husband Graham and named him after her father as a ode.

“Graham and I are so happy to share the news of the birth of our baby boy,” wrote the delighted new mother on her Instagram handle as she shared her joy with her fans, asking them to keep her and her family in their prayers.

“We wanted to give our son a name that would bestow him with courage and kindness as he makes his way through the world," she said in the post. "I wanted a name that would act as an inspiration to him in his life but also one that would cloak him in love and strength, a name that he could wear with the knowledge that it was given to him from deep within his mother’s heart and soul to protect him throughout his life, to give him in equal measure both grace and fearlessness, a sense of his homeland and of joy. Every time I thought of what name might do that, I always came back to my beloved father’s name. Please keep us in your prayers.”
