The PPP has demanded immediate release on parole of Asif Ali Zardari, husband of Benazir Bhutto. The Bilawal House spokesman Munawwar Hussain Suhrawardi said that after the murders of all the male members of the Bhutto family and the forced exile of Benazir Bhutto, there was no one family member in Pakistan to receive condolences for Begum Amir Bhutto. Therefore the son-in-law of the Bhutto family must be provided an opportunity to fulfil the obligation.
