We always remember her famous gestures......beautifully adjusting her head scarf
I was shocked to hear of Benazir Bhutto death.She was killed in a bomb blast.Her life indeed was cut short. She is only 54 years old.
Being half Pakistani myself, I have always admired her tenacity and being the first woman to lead a Muslim nation in modern times.We often teased our youngest sister as Benazir Bhutto lookalike. She indeed have an uncanny resemblance.
I remembered clearly she was a feminist heroine.In the early years in her campaigns, she advocated new services for women and opposed sexual discrimination, during her tenure as president. Serving two terms as prime minister between 1988 and 1996.
She was respected in the West for her liberal outlook and determination to combat Islamic extremism. For me I respected her as a woman who gave ordinary person a voice !.
She is indeed a very brave woman.
Benazir Bhutto Assassinated - RIP
1953-2007
Pakistani Tradition ----Continuing the family dynasty
Bilawal Bhutto
Benazir Bhutto's son Bilawal , 19-year-old Oxford University Student with no political experience has been made the leader of the PPP. He has now reportedly decided to go ahead and contest the January 8th elections extending Pakistan's most enduring political dynasty .My blessing for this young man.
