Assassination of Benazir Bhuto: A Passive Public

K.M.Sajad Ibrahim

Even after a year of the assassination of Benazir Bhuto, it is a mystery about her assassin. Even the world is silent about it. There is no doubt that the persons responsible for her muder are her own close relatives. Since this is an era of international terrorism, we can easily blame terrorists as responsible. This is the case of India as well. I remember the statement once made BJP leader, Sushma Swaraj during the bomb explosion that it was the drama of the Congress party to divert the attention of the public. Sushma Swaraj is one of the senior leaders of BJP and her statement is based on the tactics of the political parties. If we take into account of the many terrorist strikes in India, it was followed by some political crisis. It means that some political parties assume the role of terrorist. Our media is interested only the official version. Unlike past, our media is interested to promote the interest of the political parties and government and have no sense of an independent investigation. There are some exceptions like Tehalka.

While attending an international conference I had an opportunity to discuss the issue of Benazir Bhutoo’s assassination with an academician from Pakistan. According to him it was done none other than Asif Ali Zardari. In the video clipping of the incident there was one man with pistol, who later disappeared, was a staff of Zardari. His intention was clear that as long as Benazir was alive it was not possible for him to reach the power centre of Pakistan. Incidentally, he later became the President of Pakistan. Moreover, the present government, which is a pro-Benazir party, is not keen in the investigation of the Benazir’s assassination. All these support the case of the involvement of Asisf Ali Zardari in the incident. But persons who hold power control the state and determine its direction. This is the case of not Pakistan alone, but many countries of third world including India. People are fool, who believe in the official version, in democracy it is their own government.
