The Daughter Of Democracy Dies.

It was 27 December, 2007 when I sat stunned in front of my TV set. For the first time ever, I was taking interest in news. The headlines dashed "The daughter of democracy is NO MORE." I was shocked and dumbstruck. The ONLY democrat in Pakistan had left. 
Today, the same date reminds me of this great soul that departed. As we celebrate her third death anniversary, it is evident to note that ever since this great soul left Pakistan has had its economy in ruins, almost no plan for the deficit budget was ever made. 
Benazir Bhutto was the leader of a centre-lest People's Party in Pakistan. She was the first Muslim woman to chair a People's Party and had been a Prime Minister twice. She was also the wife of current PakistanPM Asif Ali Zardari.


After the overthrow of her father Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's government in a bloodless coup Benazir Bhutto spent the next eighteen months in and out of house arrest as she struggled to rally political support to force Zia to drop murder charges against her father. The military dictator ignored worldwide appeals for clemency and had Zulfikar Bhutto hanged in April 1979. Following the hanging of her father Bhutto was arrested repeatedly, however, following PPP's victory in the local elections Zia postponed the national elections indefinitely and moved Bhutto and her mother Nusrat Bhutto from Karachi to Larkana. This was the seventh time Benazir had been arrested within two years of the military coup. Repeatedly put under house arrest, the regime finally imprisoned her under solitary confinement in a desert cell in Sindhi province during the summer of 1981. She described the conditions in her wall-less cage in her book "Daughter of Destiny"
