Benazir raps Jamia Hafsa students, police
Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Peoples Party Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto on Friday condemned the girl students of Jamia Hafsa for taking law into their hands, and police for turning a blind eye to it.
Benazir Bhutto, in a statement issued here, said the images of burqa-clad and stick-wielding women holding policemen hostage, forcing shopkeepers to shut their businesses and kidnapping a family of three women accusing them of loose morals had tarnished countrys image a lot. She said that Wednesdays incident had given rise to suspicions that the Musharraf-led government was pushing the country towards Talibanisation to seek international communitys support for it. This is dangerous brinkmanship which will gravely undermine national security and integrity, she said.
