HYDERABAD, Feb 11: Sindh National Front chairman Mumtaz Ali Bhutto on Wednesday demanded that investigation into Benazir Bhutto murder should be carried out under his supervision “because I am not only the elder of Bhutto family but also chief of the Bhutto tribe.”
Mr Bhutto said after his arrival at the Circuit House in a motorcade that the rulers who came to power by cashing in on Benazir Bhutto’s assassination were now trying to provide protection to the murderers.
He said that his party had launched a campaign to tighten the noose around the murderers’ necks. “We will not allow Benazir Bhutto’s murderers to run away.”
He alleged that by spending billions of rupees on having the UNO investigate the case, the powers that be were trying to put the case on the back burner.
Mr Bhutto claimed that the government was squandering a huge amount of Rs3 billion a month on 83 ministers and advisers. People would have to take to the streets for their rights because they had been left with no other option.
He said that the people sitting in the assemblies were hostages and they were least concerned about people’s welfare.
CONFERENCE: The administrative committee of the Awami Tehrik decided at a meeting on Tuesday to postpone the national conference to April 19, which was earlier scheduled for March 22.
Tehrik president Abdul Qadir Ranto who presided over the meeting said that the conference would be held at Umer Marui ground in Quaidabad, Karachi, at a grand scale for which 100,000 posters and one million handbills would be printed and 10,000 invitation cards would be distributed.
