Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Saturday hit hard at the Pakistan People’s Party for not bringing killers of its own former chairwoman Benazir Bhutto to book.
Addressing a public gathering in PPP’s stronghold Larkana on Saturday, Nawaz vowed that he would bring the assassins of Benazir to justice. Nawaz said those who ran away leaving Benazir’s body behind had now become advisers and ministers. He said the incumbent ministers and advisers had nothing to do with Benazir’s PPP. Recalling the day of Benazir’s assassination, he said he was greatly saddened by her death and that PPP workers on the occasion had appealed him to make efforts to ensure the arrest of the killers. Nawaz paid homage to Benazir and said he was greatly saddened over the martyrdom of the PPP chairperson, as he considered her sister. He said those who were not able to arrest the killers of its own chief could hardly bring dacoits and looters to justice.
Nawaz also slammed the PPP leadership for its failure to address the miseries of flood victims of the province. The former PM pledged that he would provide easy loans to peasants in Sindh, adding that Sindh was changing and the presence of a large number of people in the rally was a proof of the fact. “We will ensure freedom from load shedding, lands will be distributed among landless farmers and easy loans would be provided to Sindhi businessmen,” Nawaz said.
Talking to reporters at Benazir’s mausoleum, the PML-N president said that he had finished “no-go areas” by coming to Larkana. He said that after breaking the “no-go area” in Larkana, he would head to Karachi and break another “no-go area” in the city.
