SUKKUR: The 20th death anniversary of the chairman of Pakistan People’s Party (Shaheed Bhutto), Mir Murtaza Bhutto, was observed in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh Bhutto and other parts of Sindh, including Sukkur, Khairpur, Shikarpur, Ghotki, Naushahroferoz and Jacobabad, on Tuesday. 

Ghinwa Bhutto, the widow of Mir Murtaza Bhutto, in her address to mark the death anniversary of her husband demanded re-investigation into “the assassination of Murtaza Bhutto and his friends”.

She said that 20 years had passed since “the assassination of Murtaza Bhutto”, but none of the killers were brought to justice.

Commenting on the current political situation in the country, Ghinwa said that foreign hands were behind the political parties protesting against Nawaz government to destabilize Pakistan. She said that those who had been calling Nawaz Sharif corrupt were themselves more corrupt.

Ghinwa Bhutto said that when the judiciary had disposed of the case of Murtaza Bhutto, she took the case to the masses, and she was confident that the masses would do justice. She said that she had been forced to have a political alliance with the PPP of Zardari, but she refused and said that the masses would decide the fate of the PPP (SB).
