Benazir Bhutto

KARACHI:  The Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Chair of the University of Karachi organized a conference on ‘reconciliation: vision of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto’ at the KU Chinese Teachers Memorial Auditorium on Friday.

The provincial minister for universities and boards Muhammad Ali Malkani, President of Pakistan People’s Party Sindh Senator Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, and others gathered to pay homage to the first female prime minister of Pakistan.

The Senator Nisar Ahmed Khuhro said that everyone should refrain from defaming the country to achieve their personal interests. Benazir Bhutto was a visionary politician who represented the country to the world both as a female leader and as a PM of Pakistan.

He stressed that there must be a habit of listening and bearing others’ points of view. The late party head gives this vision to us, and we all are following it. He mentioned that Benazir Bhutto faced countless problems and difficulties but did not leave the path of democracy.

Khuhro said it is the responsibility of all of us to highlight her achievements. She was not only the greatest scholar of democracy, but also a responsible citizen, an excellent writer, a brilliant speaker, and a member of civil society.

He further said that the assemblies were formed for five years, but unfortunately in the past, four assemblies were dissolved from 1988 to 1998 and shared that this made the people of Pakistan very angry.

He informed the audience that the language issue was created between the then west and east Pakistan and that matter crafted a huge gulf between both portions and we both suffered an enormous loss.

On this occasion, the provincial minister of the Universities and Boards Muhammad Ali Malkani said that Benazir Bhutto never loses patience even in the most difficult situations and always called democracy the best revenge.

Meanwhile, the KU acting Vice Chancellor Justice Retired Hasan Feroz said that people should research, MPhil and PhD on Benazir Bhutto’s personality. She has an eternal struggle for democracy in Pakistan and the world widely appreciated her efforts.
