"The tyrant dies and his rule is over, the martyr dies and
his rule begins," 19th century Danish philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard said of difference between a tyrant and martyr.
December 27, 2007 goes in our history as a monumental day
when the tyrant forces of Pakistan attacked and martyred the
People's Queen Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in
Rawalpindi. Still unbelievable by my senses, but looking at the
gloom and mourning across the world, especially Pakistan, I
reluctantly admitted to myself that my great leader and sister
is no more in this world.
A source of inspiration, an enormous mind which
communicated to the every mind in Pakistanis creating hope
among hopeless, a brave lady with a brilliant brain, a rare
combination of physical and spiritual being, Shaheed
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto had been Pakistan's biggest asset
even more powerful than the nukes that we have. The chain of
federation that she really was is martyred by anti-Pakistan
forces hidden in different garbs and veils. The earth is shaken.
Evil eyes that want to tear apart this nation of 170 million are
the only eyes, which didn't shed tears. Every eye is weeping.
All those who love and care for the motherland are mourning
and will continue to mourn for losing a leader of such high
stature that this country would take centuries to produce
again. She was killed because she looked like a hope for every
Pakistani. A nation is orphaned.
I am one of the few of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto's
fortunate brothers whom she blessed with her brotherly
affection. In the general elections scheduled for January 08,
2008, it was decided that the Chairperson will address public
meetings at Divisional Headquarters only because of the
shortage of time. She was addressing a huge public meeting in
Mirpurkhas on December 18, 2007 when I sent her special
request through email that since caretaker Prime Minister
Mohammad Mian Soomro has gone mad to get his nephew

but because Musharraf and his "King's Party" know that they
were going to be thoroughly rejected at the polls and that the
PPP and other pro-democracy parties would win a majority.
Democracy in Pakistan can be saved, and extremism and
fanaticism contained, only if the elections, when they are
held, are free, fair and credible.
To that end, the people of Pakistan must be guaranteed
elections that are (1) conducted under a new, neutral
caretaker government, free of cronies from Musharraf's
party; (2) supervised by an independent and autonomous
election commission formed in consultation with the
major political parties; (3) monitored by trained
international observers who have unfettered access to
all polling stations as well as the right to conduct exit
polling to verify results; (4) covered by electronic and
print media with the freedoms they had before martial
law was imposed on Nov. 3; and (5) arbitrated by an
independent judiciary as provided for in the
constitution. In addition, all political activists,
lawyers and judges being detained must be
released.
The enemies of democracy and tolerance who
took my wife from me and from the world can and
must be exposed and marginalized. Dictatorship and
fanaticism have always been rejected by the people of
Pakistan. If free and fair elections are held, those forces will be
defeated again on Feb. 18. And on that day, the vision and
indefatigable spirit of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto will burn
brightly, and, in the words of John Kennedy, "the glow from
that fire can truly light the world."

outside of Pakistan.
With my country's judges and lawyers still in jail, its free
media intimidated and silenced, and its political leaders unsafe
to walk the streets, we cannot pretend to have
free and open elections. There
can
be
no

elections held
under
such

repression continues.
Our free and
independent Supreme
Court
must
be
restored; the justices jailed by
Musharraf must released and returned to their proper seats,
replacing the cronies with which Musharraf has packed the
current court. Our other judges, lawyers and civic dissidents
must be freed. The intimidation campaign waged against the
free media must be halted. International election observers
must be allowed to monitor our elections to ensure against
government intimidation. And, finally, a credible international
commission must be allowed to investigate the mysterious
circumstances of my mother's assassination. Only after these
steps are taken can we begin the honorable march to
democracy and stability.

and threw the constitution and gulped the rights of the people
of Pakistan. She decided to carry on with her father's mission
that is to bring democracy in Pakistan. Shaheed Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto fought marvelously and bravely, not afraid of
being 'baton charged', not afraid of being house-arrested, not
afraid of being jailed, not afraid of losing her life. I must say
what a brave lady she was. She finally succeeded in her
mission and Pakistan People's Party won the elections held in
1988, therefore Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto was the first
woman to have been sworn as a Prime Minister of Pakistan on
December, 2, 1988, the first woman to lead a Muslim nation.
But, her struggle did not end here, she had to fight for her
rights of the downtrodden, as sadly gender bias has always
existed in Pakistan, and she being a woman had to walk an
extra mile for everything. Questions were raised on her being
eligible for the post of a Prime Minister for being a woman.
Then again Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto fought and she
won, and in turn cleared a hurdle for the future woman Prime
Minister of Pakistan. She was tear-gassed during her
pregnancy, and had to go as high as Siachen glaciers during
her second pregnancy , this was all to break her spirit, but she
was a woman of her words, she did not shrink from any of her
responsibilities but accepted them, open handedly. She was
twice elected as a Prime Minister of Pakistan. During her rule
she faced many ups and downs, and many hurdles. Her
brother, Shaheed Mir Murtaza Bhutto was assassinated during
her rule, this was a move by the establishment to break the
strong walls of PPP and kill the party. Shaheed Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto's spouse Senator Asif Ali Zardari was arrested
and imprisoned for around 8 years. Can you believe it? Being
arrested for 8 years without having proved guilty. What a
shame on such regimes. Despite all odds and huge sufferings
and difficulties in the form of jails, media trial mud-slinging,
she survived and raised her head instead of lowering it. She
was forced into exile for more than 8 years, and all these years

and I heard him crying, crying like never before in life and at
that moment I myself burst into tears, crying over the loss of
the whole nation, the loss which could not be defined. The loss
was more than anyone could have ever imagined and people
will realize this in the many coming years. We hail her, as her
life was full of opportunity, responsibility and fulfillment. She
is alive in us and the three candles that she left behind i.e.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari and Aseffa
Bhutto Zardari to give light to us in darkness in the many
coming years, inshallah, Ameen. Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir
Bhutto always said 'democracy is the best revenge'. Ghar Ghar

Sunday last was not off for the enthusiastic and excited
PPP activists in the provincial metropolis. They cancelled or
postponed all their Sunday's engagements. For them the long
awaited arrival of Benazir Bhutto was more important than
their participation in weddings, their weekly visits to relatives,
their drawing room, Hujra and baithak sittings and their
gossip in qawakhanas. It was after 10 years long span of selfexiled period they were going to capture the opportunity to
have a glimpse of the bold daughter of their beloved party
founder Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who used to refer to Peshawar as
second Larkana. Benazir Bhutto's whirlwind tour coupled with
her to unannounced dashes to late Arbab Jehangir's Hujrastyled residence, to Walibagh without Wali Khan, to the mud
house of a PPP victim of the Karachi bomb blast and to a
wood-cum-mud grassy hut of a slain PPP activist and to the
small house of her party's assassinated minister, were enough
for Peshawarites to call her "lioness" of the jungle of politics to
get a lions share of politics in this politically fertile and
conscious province. In Frontier, where Aftab Sherpao is found
cautious about his and his emerging politician son's security,
Amir Muqam is scared of free movement and Salim Saifullah
seems careful, nothing worried Benazir Bhutto whether this
belt is the hotbed of suicide bombers or stronghold of religious
militants or gripped by a wave of militancy. She listened to
none of the "don't go to Frontier" advice. She moved into
Peshawar and elsewhere and put her head together with the
impatiently waiting PPP activists here and there to ponder
over the controversial issue of boycott or no boycott of the
polls. Her visit coincided with the rebellion of loosely knit
Maulana Fazlur Rehman's JUI lawyers wing. The lawyers say
the Maulana hurt the lawyers' feelings for speaking against the
deposed judges while BB won over them for voicing their
reinstatement.
It was charismatic Benazir Bhutto who brought back
several old sincere but annoyed PPP leaders and activists into

from
Marvi of Malir
Shah Latif by Benazir Bhutto
When the world was still to be born
When Adam was still to receive his form
Then my relationship began
When I heard the Lord's voice
A voice sweet and clear
I said "yes" with all my heart
And formed a bond with the land I love
When all of us were one
My bond then began

Denied opportunities
Youth looking for hope
Democracy separated from the polity
Dictatorship cuts cruelly to the bone
Undermining the economy
Undermining the society
Introducing suicide
Economic suicide for those too poor to live
Political suicide for asymmetric warfare
Joy left when the stove turned cold
Joy fled when the church and hospital blew
Some sent messages
To forget about politics
To leave the people
To find happiness
They thought it foolish
That the weight of persecution
Could be borne
With a Mother ill
And children small
With the pain of exile
Of a husband separated by prison walls.
They thought it generous
To offer freedom for abandonment
The abandonment of a people, of a land
Of a struggle, of a dream
Of principles and of conscience
I thought it wrong
