Remembering Benazir Bhutto (1953-2007)
I will expose Benazir’s killers: Zardari
* President says he knows who killed Benazir Bhutto
* Democracy, dialogue, politics are solution to Pakistan’s problems
* Asks New Delhi not to push Islamabad for action
Daily Times, September 28, 2008
NAUDERO: President Asif Ali Zardari said on Saturday he knew the killers of Benazir Bhutto and that he would expose them.
He was addressing Pakistan People’s Party leaders who had gathered at Benazir’s family home in Naudero to honour her on her first death anniversary.
“I will expose the killers of Benazir Bhutto. I know the killers, I will expose the killers to save the country,” Zardari said. He appreciated a statement by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that the world body would soon initiate an independent inquiry into Benazir’s assassination.
“We will have to wait for UN even if it takes a long time,” he said, adding the ‘enemies of Pakistan’ were being impatient and provoking people. “They are the same people who had raised the slogan Pakistan Na Khapay (Pakistan not needed) in Garhi Khuda Bukhsh.”
He said the Pakistani people and the parliament knew Benazir had been assassinated in an attempt to disintegrate Pakistan, but vowed his government would keep it united.
