Thousands arrive in Naudero to observe 5th anniversary of Benazir Bhutto

Thousands of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) workers and leaders from across the country arrived in Naudero to mark the 5^th death anniversary of Benazir Bhutto. She was assassinated in a bomb and shooting attack in Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh on December 27, 2007.

Benazir Bhutto, the first women Prime Minister of the Muslim world and a great political leader who sacrificed her life for upholding the rights of common man and to ensure political freedom in the country.

The people, especially the devoted workers of Pakistan People’s Party from all over the country, are visiting visit graves of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the founder of the PPP, late Begum Nusrat Bhutto, Mir Murtaza Bhutto and Shahnawaz Bhutto who all are buried in Garhi Khuda Bux.

It is vital to mention here that despite five years of her assassination, the PPP government has failed to bring the perpetrators to the book. Various investigations were conducted even by the United Nations and Scotland Yard but the case has not reached its logical conclusion.

She was Pakistan’s first female prime minister and the head of the Pakistan People’s Party founded by her father. She confronted all the dictators and continued her political struggle to ensure rights of the masses and revive political and democratic rule in the country.

Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) Chairman and Benazir’s son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will officially launch into the political sphere today through a public address at Garhi Khuda Buksh. The Jialas are looking forward to witness the launch of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari into politics.

Pakistan’s President and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto will also address the public gathering.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has chosen his mother’s fifth death anniversary to make a formal debut in politics. This means that he will be handed charge of his party’s campaign for next year’s general elections; he cannot contest elections till he is 25.

General Elections are due in Pakistan anytime after March next year when the current National Assembly will complete its five-year term. The ruling PPP has indicated that elections are likely to be held in April or May next year. While will turn 25 only in September, 2013.
