ISLAMABAD, Aug 31: Former prime minister and Chairperson of Pakistan People's Party Benazir Bhutto has constituted a four- member team of senior party leaders to visit the PPP worker, Asif Buledi, who attempted suicide in Garhi Yasin Taluka of Shikarpur district in protest against the incarceration of Asif Ali Zardari and the politically-motivated cases against Ms Bhutto.

The four-member committee comprises former Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah, Sindh PPP President Nisar Khuro, former defence minister Aftab Shabaan Mirani and former MPA Siraj Durrani.

The four-member committee has been tasked with delivering a letter from the chairperson and also to oversee the treatment of Asif Ali Buledi in the hospital.

Asif Buledi, the president of the PPP Chatto Mangi Union Council, on Sunday publicly shot himself raising slogans of "Jeay Bhutto" and demanding release of Senator Zardari and return of Ms. Benazir Bhutto. He was rushed to the Civil Hospital where his condition is serious.

Ms Bhutto said suicide by the PPP workers demonstrated that doors to justice had been shut down and people were forced to take extreme steps. Ms Bhutto said she was deeply pained over the incident adding, "the party did not ask its workers to go for this kind of extreme sacrifice.

She said at the same time the supreme sacrifice offered by a party worker also brought into focus the mass support for PPP and revulsion against the military dictatorship. She asked the party leadership to visit Asif Buledi and do everything possible to save his life. She also prayed for his early.
