ISLAMABAD, Sept 13: PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto has termed the decisions of convicting her husband Asif Ali Zardari and disqualifying her from contesting October elections “murder of justice”.

In a statement issued here on Friday, she said: “It is no justice but murder of justice. Those who perpetrated it will surely be punished as all wrongdoers ultimately are and those who suffer for a cause will be truly rewarded.”

Praising her husband for facing prolonged imprisonment bravely, she said: “I am proud of the courage that (ex) Senator Zardari has shown. He has walked in the footsteps of “Quaid-i-Awam” in refusing to bow before the forces of tyranny that exploit the people and usurp their rights.”

She said with the support of the people, “we will continue the struggle against the forces of injustice, dictatorship and exploitation until the final victory Insha Allah”.

“The only court that matters is the court of the people and the court of God. Today we may suffer the sentences but it matters little. What matters is the love we have in the eyes of our people,” the former premier added.—PPI
