LAHORE, Dec 28: Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Secretary General of the Punjab chapter of Pakistan People’s Party has accused the authorities of destroying evidence of the assassination of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto.

He said in a statement issued here on Friday that the evidence had been destroyed by washing the blast site outside the Liaquat Bagh with high-pressure water hoses.

He said that the government had first failed to act on the complaints about ‘unsatisfactory’ security arrangements for the former prime minister and now its officials had destroyed the evidence.

He directed the party organisations to arrange funeral prayers and ‘Soyem’ for Ms Bhutto in every city of the province on Sunday.
