ISLAMABAD, March 14: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Benazir Bhutto, has criticized the present government over its failure to maintain law and order situation in the country.

In a statement issued here on Thursday, Ms Bhutto said at least 25 innocent people had been killed in a month which was quite alarming.
