Benazir Bhutto (Sindhi: بينظير ڀٽو, Urdu: بینظیر بھٹو, IPA: [beːnəziːɾ bɦʊʈːoː]) (June 21, 1953 – December 27, 2007) was a Pakistani politician who chaired the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), a centre-left political party in Pakistan. Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state, having twice been Prime Minister of Pakistan (1988–1990; 1993–1996). She was Pakistan's first and to date only female prime minister.
Benazir was mercilessly killed on 27 December 2007 in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Gen(R) Musharaf's Government conducted investigaions in coordination with the British Intelligence Services. Pakistan Peoples Pary was not satisfied with the investigation results. PPP and Mr. Zardari (the husband of late Benazir) demanded investigation at international level through the UN.
PPP was voted into power in February 2008 and its candidate was sworn in as PM in March 2008. Mr. zardari took over as Pakistan President in August 200. Instead of now carrying out the investigation itself PPP continues with its idea of UN Investigation into the circumstances leading to Benazir murder and the persons responsible.President Zardari devoted 3/4th of his speech to UN General Assembly on 25 September eulogising late Benazir Bhutto and calling on the international community to ensure UN investigation on the murder of his wife.
Very interestingly! As one recalls faces of the person who targeted Benazir with revolver aimed at her are clearly seen through the TV Reporting of the murder. Simiarly, the person standing behind Benazir while she was addressing the public meeting in Rawalpindi and continuously making gestures to unidentifiable person(s) persons is already murdered. No post-martum was carried out of the dead body on the instructions of Mr. Zardari. The scene of the murder was washed/cleaned within an hour of the murder.
Now what is that Pakistan Government expects from UN Investigations !!
