In March of 2016, Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari and PPP inaugurated the first-ever cadet college for women in Pakistan – Bakhtawar Cadet College for Girls. Located in Nawabshah, Sindh, the Bakhtawar Cadet College accommodates around 250 aspiring female students who wish to gain the same training and education as of men in this field.

Indeed it was a great honor for the people of Nawabshah and for Bakhtawar Bhutto to ground the seeds of such an important learning initiative, especially for females.
Following the Footsteps (unknowingly), KPK Government also Established the First-Ever Cadet College for Females in the Province

It seems, however, that the party chairman Imran Khan wasn’t aware that Bakhtawar Bhutto was the first individual to establish a cadet college for females in Pakistan.
When Khan Made this Tweet, Followers Corrected him There and Then

Best of All, Bakhtawar Bhutto Made Sure to Correct Khan of His Facts and She Made a Tweet Addressing Him!

As to what Bakhtawar said, it is a great step that political parties in power are understanding the importance of such education for women in our country. In a province which has always geared attention in terms of how women are never given the opportunities to excel, KPK establishing a cadet school for women is a great step.
Good luck to both, Bakhtawar Bhutto and Imran Khan for their future ventures. On a lighter note, Bakhtawar wins extra points for her banter!
