Benazir Butto – brutally assassinated.
I have been closely following Pakistani politics from the time Nawaz and Benazir announced their return to their mother-land. Somehow Benazir always seemed to be ray of hope amidst all the chaos prevalent in the country.
The headlines at rediff came as BIG shock to me. I just couldn’t believe the cruelty and brutality displayed by the assassins in extinguishing the last strong flame of hope in Pakistani politics. Extremists who didn’t want her to return to power again, extremists who couldn’t stand a ‘woman’ rule the country, extremists who pose a grave danger to towards the destabilization of the entire Pakistani nation, have at last, in their second attempt, succeeded in their heinous plans.
I pay my condolences towards a brave lady, who dared to enter a well of fire and laid her life fighting for a cause.
