Former President Asif Ali Zardari has said the PPP would pay homage to Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto for her vision about Pakistan as a modern and progressive state and for her commitment to fight armed religious fanatics from hijacking the state and society away from her vision.
In his message on the eve of the 9th martyrdom anniversary of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto on Tuesday, he said she knew full well that the hounds of extremism and religious fanaticism were out to remove her from their path. She also had the choice to opt for an easy path and not resist the fanatics but she had a dream and a vision for the people of Pakistan, he added.
"For the realisation of this dream she laid down her life while leading the fight from the front. Today as we pay her homage out heads also bow in gratitude." "Such is the stuff of which the leaders and workers of the PPP are made. The party is proud of its inspirational leaders. Let there be no doubt or mistake in the minds of those who are scheming against the party with a malice that is floating on the surface for everyone to see. They will not be allowed to succeed no matter what the cost and what the odds," he added.-PR
