BB's return

PPP’s Chairperson and former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto dashed to Karachi on October 17 after ending her near a decade long self-exile abroad. This all became possible after the passage of National Reconciliation Order (NRO) by the government of Pakistan, which envisaged government’s departure from its earlier stubborn decision of taking all those into task who were hither to allegedly involve in misappropriation of funds or misuse of authority.

After getting green signal from home she decided her comeback at the altar of break away of popular opposition alliance called “Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy” (ARD). Mr. Nawaz Sharif-led strong group as well as other components of ARD bid farewell to it and instead formed “All Parties Democratic Movement” (APDM).

Tens of thousands of people from all over the country were attracted to Karachi to welcome her. The carvan headed by Ms. Benazir Bhutto left airport by the sunset.

Standing atop a well designed truck she started heading the venue of meeting point at Mazar-e-Quaid.

All was well until the mid of same night. As the big arm of the clock struck at 17 a sound of blast near her truck took place which was followed by a sever one which turned the whole jubliation into a mourning. As many as 150 innocent lives were lost and even greater number of people were injured. Investigaters called it a suicide attack however, Benazir Bhutto & rest of her allies dissented, demanding a full fledged enquiry.

Blasts, suicide attacks, ambushes or assaults all are meant to create disharmony and destablise the government. It all happened at the expense of lives of poor people.

Inquiry commissions are usually set & re-set to explore and investigate the causes and motives.

But nothing new could be extracted out of these reports.

We condemn this barbarous attack and pray for the departed souls and welfare of the bereaved families.

We also demand to bring all those culprits to book and ensure peace.  

Musharrafan reforms in the shape of landmark District Government System which came into force in 2001 besides record development in all sectors are some of his credentials that makes his popularity graph up in and outside the country.

People support him because they found visible difference between him & his predecessors who spent most of their times in plundering public exchequer and fooled the whole nation with their lip services. Now the things are changed.

A full-fledged and independent devolution system is on the ground serving the cause of nation with utmost sincerity and ability. The system is run by none others than the people themselves.
