Pakistan Shunned
 "I am thankful to almighty allah for saving me and the democracy that is beginning to take shape in our country, It is the people wish that i could be save", said the PPP president said to a host of television channels and media persons in a press conference orgainised at her Karachi residence Bilal House on friday.She was appeared for the first time before camera after the thursday night attacks. We are neither blaming the Musharraf's goverment for the attack nor indicating their connivance in the assasination attempt on me but we (PPP) are extremely upset over the arrangements.

All the street lights were defunct and electricity were not in the entire area. Police reaction time was extremely high and there were not enough security cover", she said. She could not rule out the role of MQM in the incident. Two of the one suicide bombers who first thrown hand-grenade at the vehicles and exactly after 23rd second he blown himself. He was seen running alongside the cavalcade.

Though there were some internal arrangements within party concerning threats for the cavalcade to pass through the roads of Karachi for the dooms day and perhaps this could worked successfully and avert more losses as per the  is concerned. The PPP spokeperson says we had plans not to come out of truck in open but on the demand of overwhelming crowd some leaders and Mrs. Bhutto had to appear in open for some time during the run from Airport. The PPP top leaders were not mountd on the same vehicles instead they were on different vehicles so in the case of attack all top leaders wont get targeted simultaneously.

The explosions was powerful enough to widen the cracks of efforts to bring back democracy in Pakistan. While the process that were hopefully in the sapling stage after years of Musharraf's rule this sort of drama have been not a unexpected one.

While incident has been criticised from every democratic quarter of the world there is no one who rule out the chances of Musharraf's involvement in the drama. General Musharraf has called an emergency meeting in Rawalpindi on Friday with officers obligatory in security arrangements. He took some decision in haste and enthrust civil forces with more power. Now they can arrest any person without warrant and detain them behind bars until they won't prove themselve of clean hand. But this step is sure to warrants more problems than solution in days to come. Some Political experts do also vent their anger over the issue and blamed Musharraf  of taking more power to his fist under the garb of public security.

She has been a leader of great vigour and despite losing most of his family as the victims of politics and fundamentalists this daughter of Pakistan continued to advocate the restoration of democracy in Pakistan. Despite death threats from radical Islamists, Benazir Bhutto announced her return to Pakistan in October and keeping her words to full she landed at Karachi International Airport on and was greeted by an enthusiastic crowds of tens of thousand of people.  Alike her the antagonists of democracy institutions, may they be millitary rulers, fundamentalists or ISI keeping their words and attacked the cavalcade of Mrs. Bhutto with a host of bomb explosion. The explosive were so powerful that went hampered the building alongside leading to deaths of 150 people on spot and left more than 500 severely injured. It has really been a surprise that she could escape the attack.

With her announcement of plans to lead PPP in the next general election a couple of months back, naturally the matter warrants enough fire to spark both hostility and hospitality for Benazir in her own country. Most of the national and international newspapers were having articles, columns and editorials anticipating such attacks. She herself anticipated such attacks.

While Mrs. Bhutto is trying her best not to take direct confrontation with Musharraf as she better knows the pakistani millitary band and their cruelty to crush the democratic institution in Pakistan, admitting the very next day of the incident that Pakistani government is not responsible for the attack and blamed ISI and other fundamentalist group. Though along with her all over the world there is a strong feeling of Musharraf significant role in the lethal attack.

By doing so she has proven herself as a mature poliitician. While the attack warrants Musharraf under scanner there is a strong wind of sympathy felt in support of Mrs. Bhutto. The PPP chairperson were quite intelligent while condemning the incident did not directly blame the govt. as she knows that any sort of altercation with man in uniform may prove a graveyard for her political ambitions and give enough reason to rationalise the invokation of marshal law in Pakistan which Musharraf is looking for desperately.
