IN Pakistan there is no dearth of the devil`s advocates. This category has launched a campaign against the UN investigation into Benazir Bhutto`s murder.
The arguments against the UN inquiry are that while her party (PPP) is in power, they should use internal sources for inquiry.
Don`t these people remember that in 1951 a prime minister was killed at the same venue in Rawalpindi and the nation is still waiting for an in-depth inquiry into that tragic incident.
Similarly, Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah was found dead in her bed and the inquiry said “she died of an heart attack.” What about the inquiry report into the murder of Nawab of Kalabagh? Are people satisfied with the argument that he was killed by his own son? A list of such inquiries conducted by the national agencies of Pakistan is very long.
By opposing an international inquiry into the murder of Benazir Bhutto, do these people want another addition to this useless long list?Don`t they know that times have changed?
