Days after confirming her second marriage, Dania Shah, widow of the late religious scholar and TV host Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussain, along with her husband Hakeem Shehzad, has announced their intention to enter politics. They plan to contest National Assembly seats as independent candidates in the upcoming elections.
In a recent interview with a local journalist, Hakeem Shehzad revealed the couple’s political ambitions. “My wife, Dania Shah, will run for the National Assembly seat from Lodhran, while I will contest for the MNA seat from Shujaabad,” Shehzad said.
He further stated, “We are both preparing for the upcoming elections. If we succeed, we will introduce a presidential system in Pakistan. I don’t just talk; I deliver on my promises.”
When asked about his views on Pakistan’s political leaders, Shehzad shared a bold perspective. “A journalist once asked me who I would prefer to sit with if given the choice between Imran Khan, Asif Zardari, and Nawaz Sharif. I replied that I would prefer to sit with myself because I am a leader in my own right. Why should I follow anyone else?”
It is noteworthy that Dania Shah was previously married to the late Aamir Liaquat Hussain, and this marks Hakeem Shehzad’s fourth marriage.
