Slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto's daughters have rejected former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf's accusations against their father, Asif Zardari.
In a video message on Thursday, Musharraf claimed Zardari was behind Benazir's assassination on December 27, 2007 as well as the killing of Benazir's brother, Murtaza Bhutto, in September 1996.
Blaming the victim. #ShameOnMusharraf
In the message, Musharraf had especially appealed to Benazir and Zardari's children, Bilawal, Bakhtawar, and Aseefa, to heed his words "with an open mind".
Reacting to the allegations, Aseefa Bhutto Zardari took to Twitter, stating that she is disgusted and appalled by media houses that are giving attention "to this murderer, who ran away".
Benazir's other daughter, Bakhtawar, also called for Musharraf to quit talk shows and come to Pakistan to face the courts.
& he ran away crying like a coward. #Musharraf too busy on golf courses please come to Pakistan & face real courts #ArrestMusharraf twitter.com/ravezjunejo/st…
Pakistan Peoples Party leader Khursheed Shah, in his reaction, said that if there was a close link between Zardari and TTP chief Baitullah Mehsud, then why did Musharraf not disclose this earlier.
However, one day ago, Zardari remarked that I am responsible for Benazir's murder. "This is the first time he’s called me out on this by name. I cannot tolerate this," lamented the former army chief.
