Dear friends.
I was also watching Geo , ARY live on thursday evening after coming back from office at start of our weekend. I was stuck with the horrible event as it happened and unfolded itself into sudden & tragic death - Shahadat of Benazir Bhutto.

Have remained glued to TV and internet since then. Our heartfelt condolences to the whole family of BB. Our prayers of peace for the departed eternal soul, May Allah give the family strength and Saber to get through this unthinkable loss in such tragic circustances.Assassination of Benazir Bhutto is like robbing away dreams of millions of down trodden people of any hopes of sanity, prosperity and better future.

We are ( I mean I) in age where we are less concerned for our self & more worried for the future of our children- the children of Pakistan. Future generation of Pakistan.What kind of image we are portraying to the world ? How will we face comity of nations with these ghastly murders of leaders of people ? Eliminating those people who bring some respect and recoginition of Pakistan's better face abroad and some rays of hope to poor ?

Was the hanging of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto not enough in Rawalpindi that her daughter Benazir had to be murdered so violently in Rawal pindi again ? In the town where there is GHQ where if you look around there are more uniformed or retired people as compared to the civilians ! Could this be possible without tacit support of some agencies and on behalf of some highly placed /influential people who are to gain directly from elimination of BB ?

We are devasted to see this untowards tragic loss of our beloved leader Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. We are mourning her death (along-with other innocent people) as our personal loss – as death in the family.

I had pleasure of meeting Benazir Bhutto twice in my life one long before she became PM and once after it. Our family is associated with PP have/had close relatives as MPAs and now contesting MNA/MPA from Khairpur Mirs.On one personal recent note , I had pleasure of meeting and having lunch with Asif Zardari Bhaijan here in their Dubai home some 6 weeks ago alongwith couple of Petarians and political friends visiting to meet him. During this meeting in a very cordial setting he spoke about the 18th October Karachi attempt on life of BB.

I personally am convinced that elimination of Benazir Bhutto is scheme with very sinster designs directly affecting poor , moderate people of Pakistan and could only be on behest of cruel establishment. Government should inerrogate / prosecute those whom Benazir Bhutto had /have identifed as behind scheme of trying to get her eliminated.May Allah bring to light the true perpetrators of this grisly planning and brought to justice. May Allah have mercy on our country which is now burning.Regards
