HYDERABAD, June 21: Leader of opposition in Sindh Assembly Nisar Ahmed Khuhro has said that Benazir Bhutto is waging struggle not only for the rights of the oppressed population of Pakistan, but also for the deprived people of the world.

He was speaking at a public meeting organized by local PPP leaders Aftab Ahmed Khanzada and Sikandar Hayat to mark the 53rd birth anniversary of party chairperson Benazir Bhutto here on Tuesday night.
