Thanks to my daily appetite to read few international dailies, of course along with Indian’s one, that I have got the opportunity to read the article written by President of Pakistan Mr. Asif Ali Zardari in New York Times last day (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/opinion/09zardari.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=zardari&st=cse). I don’t want to give my opinion on every single item written in his article here in my this post, but one thing which itch me every time is that he never forget to mention in his articles and interviews that he feels the pain of Indian people in the eyes of his children’s. Every time he talks about terrorism, he never forgets to discuss the assassination of his wife Late Mrs. Benazir Bhutto Zardari. And of course he should not forget to mention it, as this is the only thing in recent time, which earns sympathies for him even if he is not worth it sometime.
But my point is that was the assassination of Ms. Bhutto actually a terrorist act? On 27th December 2007 Ms. Bhutoo was assassinated after an election campaign gathering. She was out of Pakistan for many years and was settled in UK with her family after the start of resent military regime (Of course there were many) in Pakistan. When she got the news that election are at the corner in Pakistan due to international pressure, she suddenly realize, like many other leaders of India and Pakistan, that Pakistan is her darling country and it’s her duty to serve Pakistani peoples (Actually her right to rule them).
But when she came back to Pakistan, she was alone and was not with her family. Well, where were you at that time Mr. President? Why don’t you come with your wife? You probably were looking after your children’s, as their mother was not with them. But she is still not with them. How are they managing in UK now? And if they are in Pakistan with you, why were they not in Pakistan at that time with Ms. Bhutto? The other angle of the assassination also asks who is most benefited with her assassination?
The day Ms. Bhutto reached Pakistan, two explosions occurred shortly after she had landed and left Jinnah International Airport. She was not injured but the explosions, later found to be a suicide-bomb attack, killed 136 people and injured at least 450. Any body can give an excuse that hard liners were against the democracy of Pakistan so they want to oppose the leader and elections. If this was the case why the other prime ministerial candidate of opposite party PML, Mr. Nawaz Shreef was not at all attacked? And every body knows that hard liners were more against to Mr. Mussaraf then what they were against Ms. Bhutto or democracy. The then Pakistan government was not able to identify who were responsible for this assassination. UK and US governments offer their help to find out the responsible person and cause of her death but government has refused it. This was not something, which was not expecting. The strange thing was that the demand of investigation had never came from Bhutto’s family. Mr. Zardari has never asked the Govt. to take help of foreign agencies if they were not able to identify the accused. Isn’t that strange?
His party comes into power after the general elections and Mr. Zardari became king maker and then became President of Pakistan after sometime. But again, the strange thing was that he never saw any kind of pain in the eyes of his children’s and never tried to find out those who were responsible for the assassination of his dear wife. We have never heard that Pakistani Govt. is doing something to investigate the assassination case of Ms. Bhutto. Why?
Yes, my point is that it was Mr. Zardari who was most benefited with Ms. Bhutto’s assassination. He became the President of Pakistan which was not at all in picture had Ms. Bhutto been alive. And had Ms. Bhutto been alive, there were more chances that Mr. Nawaz Sharif’s PML could have won the election instead of PPP. So, PPP and Zardari were the highest beneficiaries of assassination of Ms. Bhutto.
On 27 December 2007, Bhutto was killed while leaving a campaign rally for the PPP at Liaquat National Bagh, where she had given a spirited address to party supporters in the run-up to the January 2008 parliamentary elections. After entering her bulletproof vehicle, Bhutto stood up through its sunroof to wave to the crowds. At this point, a gunman fired shots at her and subsequently explosives were detonated near the vehicle killing approximately 20 people. Now, the point to be noted here is that the gunman was aware that she would come out via sunroof to wave public. How can somebody, other then her own nearer, can be aware of this? Mr. Zardari had refused to permit an autopsy or post-mortem examination to be carried out.
I am not saying that its you Mr. Zardari, who have planed her assassination. But with all these unanswered questions, I am not even denying it. It’s on every individual to think and understad. But with all this in mind, I would like to request to you to stop looking the pain of Indian people in the eyes of your children’s and start doing something against terrorism. Otherwise we’ll make you to look your own pain in your own eyes in front of a mirror. This probabely be your last chance Mr. President, so batter to act then make people emotional fools.
Jai Hind!!!
