Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto says she will never surrender to militants. “What I really need to ask myself is: do I give up, do I let the militants determine the agenda?” the Pakistan People’s Party chairwoman said in an interview with a foreign radio station.
“I’ve been having a party meeting and, believe me, the spirit amongst the party is one that I’m so proud of because they say we can’t let the militants dictate to us what’s going to happen, and that we have to try and save Pakistan by saving democracy. So my supporters are ready.” She said there could be more attacks to come, but she and her party were determined to contest parliamentary elections in January. She said she had been warned that she would be targeted by four militant groups before returning to Pakistan after eight years in self-imposed exile. |
