Ghinwa reacts to Zardari’s remarks

Published December 30, 2008

SUKKUR, Dec 29: Reacting to President Asif Ali Zardari’s statement that he knew who murdered Benazir Bhutto, Pakistan People’s Party-Shaheed Bhutto chairperson Ghinwa Bhutto on Monday said that people, too, knew very well who were behind the murder and who sold her blood for power.

Addressing a public gathering in a high school in Thull, Ms Bhutto rejected what she termed US-supported democracy in Islamabad and said that the real democracy would come with restoration of the deposed chief justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry.

She blamed rulers for acting upon US agenda and claimed that her party was the real heir of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. They would continue to struggle for the rights of people, she stressed.

She said that Sindh’s share in water was being stolen for the past 20 years, forcing people to face acute shortage of water. She warned to stop the practice immediately.

She slammed army operation in Waziristan, Bajaur and Balochistan and demanded that the government stop killing its own countrymen.

The participants of the meeting adopted two resolutions, demanding that the Sindh government immediately recover Fazila Sarki, who was kidnapped from Garhi Hassan Sarki near Thull 20 months ago and restore deposed chief justice.
