Tripping democracy — again? — Dr Mohammad Taqi

Benazir Bhutto wrote extensively about reconciliation between the Islamic world and the west. Unfortunately, she did not live to see it materialise. But even before that she had started a rapprochement with Mian Nawaz Sharif and had outlined a roadmap for it too

I write these lines on the evening of December 27, 2010 at exactly the same time when Benazir Bhutto breathed her last, three years ago. Her martyrdom remains one of those immense tragedies where one cannot forget the place where one was or the thoughts that crossed one’s mind upon receiving the tragic news. ….

Bibi’s Murder and The Establishment

by Mohammad Ali Mahar, Austin, TX

Current hoopla about Gen. Nadeem Ejaz being questioned regarding the murder of Benazir Bhutto, and accusations of his involvement in the murder of Bugti and terrorizing/ torturing other politicians, makes it look as though Ejaz is the only serving ‘establishment’ officer in the history of the country to have resorted to the vicious antics.

Hamida Ghangro, the wife of Shaheed Nazir Abbasi, and all the other evidence presented so far, have been pointing at Brig. Billa, for mercilessly torturing Abbasi to death during Zia’s dark days. Has there been any action against him? Not even a suo moto action from the ‘independent’ judiciary. Not only does the murderer Brigadier enjoy the complete immunity, he is free to insult our intelligence via establishment- sponsored TV talk shows. Na mudaee na shahadat hisaab paak hua – yeh khoon-i-khaak nasheenan thaa rizk-i-khaak hua…..

Those hoping to see Gen. Nadeem and others murderers/ collaborator of Ms. Bhutto’s assassination from within the ‘establishment’ taken to task, must not forget that in the land of the pure, even a petty captain is free to commit any crime he wants with complete impunity.

Does anyone know if any action, even after the change in the army command, has been taken against Captain Hammad, involved in the rape of a lady doctor in Sui, Baluchistan?

Benazir assassination case and the establishment

by: Munwar S.

Now the seasonal frogs have appeared again in the form of A, B, C and Q leagues. These slaves of intelligence agencies are talking all possible non-sense. They are creating ground for the overthrow of elected government as usual to appease their masters and fathers. PPP folks are weak due to their inefficiency as well as the pressure of establishment. What I see is that if PPP starts or dares to investigate .. and intelligence agency monsters in the BiBi case, its government will be overthrown on so many accounts which nobody would think of, as usual. Now we also know the real face of Judiciary which has never been independent rather responsible for the death of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and thousands other innocent people. Things won’t solve anyways without a decisive battle between cruel forces and the innocent people which PPP should get ready for if they want to save people and themselves. Because people will have to do it eventually, sooner the better.

Last Jalso of Benazir Bhutto in Larkano, Sindh

This is the Last Jalso of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Sahiba in her hometown Larkana, Sindh.

Letters to the Editor

Sindh Disenfranchised

The Sindhis again are being disenfranchised by awarding another Senate ticket of Sindh, now to Shoukat Tarin, Advisor on Finance after bestowing two tickets earlier, one to Rehman Malik who joined the federal cabinet as Minster for Interior and another to Farooque Naik who has been elected as Chairman Senate.

However irony is that in the present case the seat of senate was not vacant but was occupied by Javed Leghari,, a nominee of Shaheed Mohtarma and also in charge of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology ZABIST. His term in senate is otherwise expiring in 2012 as reported in Dawn “Tarin nomination for senate finalized” (July 28).

In order to bring Shoukat Tarin, domiciled from other province in the senate to allot him Finance Ministry as full-fledged Minaser, Javed Leghari has been asked to resign. Thus by bringing people from other provinces Sindh is being gradually disenfranchised in the upper house.

Through your paper I voice concern over a change which has caused lot of discomfiture in Sindh especially for allotting seats to those who do not represent the people of province. I also urge the President and Prime Minster to avoid such types of contentious decision which on the one hand damage the provincial cause and on the other hand alienate already disappointed party workers.

Martyred Bibi’s Vision

London: My mind, heart and soul refuse to accept that she is no more with us. Every day that I have passed ever since she was cold-bloodedly assassinated on December 27 last year by the cruellest scum on earth it has been an unending painful agony from a wound deep down that refuses to heal. Despite application of strongest will to control–whenever I have to speak and write about her -though my eyes by now should have got dried of tears-a cascade overflows involuntarily.
