Benazir, the debacle

Its been close to 2 weeks since the assasination of Benazir Bhutto, and thus far, there has been no concrete statement of the leader's death.

The assasination certainly needs condemnation but alongside she has gloriously announed as one the greatest leaders. She was indeed a voice of democracy, but was she a democrat for the people is a question that would always remain.

This article published by a known columnist William Dalrymple points out the political unjust arose during Benazir's rule. Allegations involve being sacked as Prime Minister twice on grounds of corruption, involvement in the assasination of kin Murtaza, and several other money-laundering activities. Weirdly, on an ethically economic perspective, the Bhutto's hailed from sounds backgrounds and were inclined towards the welfare of the country, but to news as that, it seems quite insane to loot the treasure of an economy which is barely trying to breathe. The paradoxical ingenuinity seems to call for pity. Further, even satirically, she was invited by Prez. Mush to get into a coalition so as to hang in with power. An attempt of one offender hiding another's stinking arse!

On the flip side, it was surprising to notice that Pakistani economy had been doing quite well, despite all these mishaps and uneven ruling. Yes, they are known to be a nuclear weapon armed nation and religiously well stood but to mark a growth of 7% for the last 6 years is indeed outstanding, that too without complete democracy!

Gravely, I do mourn for the death of a person as any other, and do hope that Pakistan will come out of its miseries and bring stability in its economy at the earliest!
