LAHORE – Senior Pakistan People’s Party leader Naheed Khan and her husband Senator Safdar Abbasi has criticised the government for not investigating Benazir Bhutto murder case properly and said if things were not handled correctly, the ‘tsunami’ of jiyalas (the diehard PPP workers) would wipe everything out.
They were addressing a meeting on ‘Future of Pakistani Politics’ in the metropolis on Sunday. They said the government had failed to fulfil the desires of PPP workers and investigating Benazir Bhutto’s assassination properly even after three years. Both the discarded leaders were of the view that stability could not be achieved until the political parties introduced democracy within parties.
Naheed said masses were victims of the friendly fight between the main political parties, adding that no one could fool people now and press the masses for revolution. She said the Foreign Office should inform the court about Raymond Davis’ status and let it decide the fate.
“No one knows how many Americans like Raymond Davis are operating in Pakistan,” she said, adding that the government was playing with the emotions of people on Raymond issue. “If people of Pakistan wanted to hang Raymond, the government has no right to let him free,” she opined.
Speaking on the occasion, Safdar Abbasi said the government had mishandled the case and the PPP workers were very much fed of it. He said the 18th Amendment was a great achievement but the policies of government had turned the country a sandwich in terms of national security.
The instability due to delay in restoration of judiciary by the government was still persisting and recent clash between the two main political parties would further aggravate the situation. He said terrorism, political and economic instability were the reasons behind the prevailing crises.
He said Pakistan was fighting a US war but the US was supporting India for gaining Security Council’s seat. At the same time both (the US and India) had entered into civil nuclear agreement, he added.
