[Dawn] With political parties gearing up for the forthcoming elections, the Pakistain People's Party (PPP) held a big public gathering at Liaquat Road on the fifth death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in...
on Thursday.
The PPP leaders on the occasion asked the party workers and supporters to once again take Dire Revenge™ for the liquidation of Ms Bhutto by defeating her political opponents in the elections.
Unlike the four anniversaries since Ms Bhutto was killed at Liaquat Bagh in 2007, this year's public gathering here was the biggest.
Amid heightened security, a large number of PPP supporters, women activists and local leaders attended the event.
The participants were chanting slogans like 'Benazir, we are ashamed because your killers are still alive.'
With the general elections round the corner, the speakers took oath from the PPP supporters present on the occasion to vote for all those candidates who were recommended by
President Asif Ali Ten PercentZardari
... husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, who has been singularly lacking in curiosity about who done her in ...
"Today, I want to take oath from the PPP workers that they would vote the candidate who is given ticket by President Zardari. I take this oath from you so that you are united and once again take Dire Revenge™ of Benazir's liquidation through the ballot, not the bullet," said Amir Fida Paracha, the PPP city president. Mr Paracha was the candidate for a National Assembly seat in the 2008 elections.
