Benazir Bhutto death anniversary: ‘We won’t take revenge, history will’

Slain former premier Benazir Bhutto’s fifth death anniversary was observed across the country on Thursday. The Muslim world’s first female prime minister, Benazir, was assassinated in a bombing on 27 December, 2007 at the end of a rally in Rawalpindi. A large public gathering was organised at Garhi Khuda Bux where President Asif Ali Zardari and his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari gave speeches. Bilawal formally began his political career with his speech. Zardari assured that free and fair elections will be held in the country, while Bilawal criticised the judiciary for not bringing his mother’s killers to justice. In other places across the country, people held vigils to pay tribute to Benazir.
