Where were you when Benazir died?

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

I was shopping in Clifton at the time, of course we went straight home as we knew the people's emotions could not be contained.

Truly one of the saddest events in the history of Pakistan.

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

I Just came out of a meeting and got call from my friend, my 1st reaction was, there goes our looted wealth then i was worried about my relatives in Lahore & Karachi as if a nicer personality dies, the reaction is calm and heart of people fills with sorrow and eyes gets wet with the tear of loss and if a bad person dies, the heart fills with terror and worries and eyes fills with tear of fear... same happened many innocents lost there live, many girls were raped in the name of revenge. many people lost their loved one.. that was sad day indeed... turned out to be a very good one for Zardari... as he became the party chairman and president of Pakistan, which otherwise he could have died dreaming off..

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

You never have a dull moment to malign PPP leadership, isn't it? Even death of most popular among masses and elected leader for you is occassion for your hatred and prejudice.

Your so called reaction on looted wealth went down the gutter when a MILITARY GENERAL issued NRO, while she was very much alive and poised to take over again the leadership of the country.

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

I was at office... some guys said "BB mar gai"......there was a momentary pleasure that at least one of the Plunderers is gone......but that lasted just a few seconds........because now we had to worry about how to get home safely and avoid the looting,plundering,arson and terror that will be unleashed by her followers.....so that was it..

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

Oh the same NRO which your leader ZArdari is living on??? get a life.. she looted wealth from us, she came and did agreement with the SAME MILITARY GENERAL to loot more wealth from us and then she named worst guy ever the ZARDARI as her successor !!! actions speaks louder than the word..BTW how many shops you looted, how many people you killed in REVENGE !!! she was a poodle and nothing more than that...you are free to worship her

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

sach bholnay par mirchian kuch ziadah hi lag gaeen. When you don't have any response to your rhetoric, you resort on personal attacks. It is kind of useless to argue with third grade prejudice ugly response.

EDITORIAL: Benazir Bhutto: ‘tis tough to say goodbye

December 27, 2007 is a day that will haunt the people of Pakistan forever. On that fateful day, the country lost a great leader to a faceless assassin. Benazir Bhutto, scion of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was assassinated three years ago in Rawalpindi. It was not just the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) that lost its leader; the whole nation and people around the world mourned at having lost a woman of Ms Bhutto’s stature. She is the only person in the country’s history who is known as a shaheed (martyr) by all and sundry. Ms Bhutto’s life reads like a Greek tragedy. At a very young age, she lost her father to a military dictator’s cruelty. For six years she remained imprisoned — in jail or under house arrest. Finally she went into exile in 1984 and ran the party from England. Her 27-year old brother, Shahnawaz Bhutto, died under mysterious circumstances in exile in Paris. Her other brother, Murtaza Bhutto, was also murdered a few years later in Karachi.

Ms Bhutto came back to Pakistan in 1986 while General Ziaul Haq was still in power. She was received by the masses with much fanfare. Ms Bhutto was a pragmatic leader who was aware that without a nod from the country’s powerful military establishment, her party could not make a comeback. Thus, she had to make compromises with the establishment — those responsible for her father’s death. Benazir Bhutto had to take this painful step for the future of democracy in Pakistan. She became the first female prime minister of Pakistan in 1988. From 1988 to 1999, Pakistan witnessed a political game of ‘musical chairs’ between Ms Bhutto and Mian Nawaz Sharif. Ms Bhutto’s first government was dismissed after 20 months on charges of corruption. She became the prime minister again in 1993 but once again her government was removed on corruption charges. She went into self-exile after that and ran the PPP from abroad. Those who criticise her for not doing enough during her two tenures should be reminded that Ms Bhutto’s hands were tied considerably because the agenda was primarily being dictated by the military establishment. Under such circumstances, no democratic government can function properly. In a twist of fate, Ms Bhutto had to make a compromise with another military dictator, General Pervez Musharraf, in order to return to Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto returned amidst death threats. She risked her life just to bring back democracy to her homeland. In an article titled ‘When I return to Pakistan’ (The Washington Post, September 20, 2007), Ms Bhutto wrote: “I am returning to Pakistan on October 18 to bring change to my country. Pakistan’s future viability, stability and security lie in empowering its people and building political institutions. My goal is to prove that the fundamental battle for the hearts and minds of a generation can be accomplished only under democracy.” It was because of Ms Bhutto’s agreement with Musharraf that Mian Nawaz Sharif was allowed to return as well. It seems as if her ‘deal’ with Musharraf began to unravel as soon as she landed in Karachi and was received by millions of people. The power of the masses brought fear into the hearts of those who masterminded her assassination. Ms Bhutto survived a terror attack on October 18 but she could not defeat death on December 27 when another attempt was made on her life. Her killers have still not been brought to justice.

It is a travesty of fate that even though Ms Bhutto’s party is in power and her widower the president of Pakistan, there is no closure regarding her assassination. Those men who have been caught are not the masterminds of BB’s murder plot. It would be a disservice to Ms Bhutto if the PPP is unable to bring the real culprits to book as soon as possible. Today is Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’s third death anniversary but it is still hard to say goodbye to a woman who fought for the democratic rights of her people. Mohtarma, you will forever remain alive in billions of hearts.

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

You never had any sense in any of your reply, whenever asked direct question, like your leadership you hid behind BS!!! good for you!!! at least people knows how much sense is there in your posts aka..ppp's jiyalas brain ( yet to be found .. brain)

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

you can say that again.. yours have never changed.. you even voted for Zardari!!!

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

Do you feel any sense in your posts like above? Only personal attacks are your best bet. It is you who hide face like an ostrich when some one points out the reality.

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

Each post proves you don't have a brain.

The majority of the electorate voted for the PPP, the only national party in Pakistan , with great leaders like Aitaza Ahsan, Raza Rabbani, etc.

Of course according to you, all these tens of millions of people are idiots, the millions and millions of mourners are idiots....only you are right.

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

:omg:

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

What about the millions who either didn't turn out to vote or were forced by jiyalas to vote PPP? The whole country hates PPP, with a transparent election, at least a 50% turnout and minus the sympathy factor, Zardari would never have come to power. At least we know this is the last we will see of PPP for the rest of our lives.

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

come on rizla dude........ don't waste your keystrokes here....do you think that you can reason with anyone supporting PPP in this day and age??:D

Re: Where were you when Benazir died?

**People said samething when mardood Zia-ul-Haq took over and he killed the founder of this party. PPP is still alive, only national party with representation in all provinces. As regard your millions who did not turn out to vote against PPP are real idiots, isn't it. It is too early for your prediction about PPP, when time comes we will see. PPP is not Zardari, it is an institution which survied during mardood's era who was bent on to erase PPP from the minds of people.
