Benazir Bhutto assassinated
Murder of Democracy
in Pakistan!!

Former Prime Minister, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, was assassinated on December 27 at Pindi’s Liaqat Bagh. She fell to prey of assassin’s bullet while waving to cheers of PPP workers outside the park.

She returned to her homeland on October 18, 2007 after ending her 8-year long exile. Upon her landing on her native soil she was accorded tumultuous welcome much bigger in size or fervour than that of April 1986.

On her way to the venue of Public meeting at Mazar-e-Quaid, she met first suicide attack in which more than 150 innocent lives were lost. Blasts occurred next to her vehicle. Staunch and vibrant, Benazir addressed a Press Conference next day and called it coward attempt. Besides this she also visited the injured workers lodged in various city hospitals.

She also requisitioned protection from the government.

Her cold blooded murder on December 27 evening unleashed a wave of protest across the country.

A wave of grief and shock traveled from Karachi to Khyber while its epicenters remained in Sindh where the angry masses targeted public and private properties inflicting heavy financial and physical losses. The three-day unabated rioting on streets and bazars shook the foundations of the country. The losses inflicted couldn’t be assessed till our going to press.

Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’s services for the country and muslim umma as a whole shall be remembered as  golden era. Moreover, the sacrifices of her family for the cause of democracy and rule of law occupy a big space in history.

Shaheed Benazir’s untimely departure is our national loss. The nation and the country would bear a big cost for it. Shaheed Benazir shall continue to retain respect and reverence in the hearts of the nation and the comity of nations till ‘Roz-e-Qiyamat’.

Her mission for the cause of democracy will remained continued un hindered. PPP’s decision of giving away new leadership spear headed by Mr. Asif Ali Zardari was again a tremendous contribution towards strengthening democracy and democratic institutions in the country. Mr. Asif Ali Zardari, who was chosen as the Co-Chairman of the party, would compulsorily ensure the continuation of BB’s mission and would take all possible efforts to foil the conspiracies hatched by the anti-state elements to disintegrate our motherland. Because we firmly believe that existence and stability of our country is foremost prime and important than other political considerations.

Long live Benzair Bhutto; Long live Pakistan.
