Benazir remembered

Published August 27, 2014

A SIX times greater crowd than the ‘Azadi march’ was present to welcome Benazir Bhutto at Karachi airport in October 2007. She could have gathered much more people to practise the same sort of ‘Azadi march’ against the dictator (a bigger challenge). However, she preferred to follow the constitutional path and excercised her leadership qualities.

I have much respect for Imran Khan and the PTI but do not support their unconstitutional step!
