Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah paid heartfelt tribute to Shaheed Benazir Bhutto on the 17th anniversary of her assassination, remembering her as a fearless advocate for democracy and the underprivileged.
In his remarks, Shah celebrated Bhutto as the first female Prime Minister of the Islamic world, commending her resilience against terrorism and dictatorship. “She was a symbol of the federation and a tireless voice for farmers, laborers, and the middle class,” he said, emphasizing her dedication to improving the lives of Pakistan’s most vulnerable. Shah reflected on Bhutto’s two terms as Prime Minister, highlighting her impactful policies for the underprivileged.
Drawing comparisons to her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, he praised her bravery and steadfast commitment to democracy, even in the face of immense danger. Condemning her assassination, Shah described it as a grievous attempt to derail Pakistan’s progress and silence the hopes of its poor. He assured that her mission lives on through PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who continues her fight for social justice and equity. The chief minister reiterated the Sindh government’s commitment to realizing Bhutto’s vision of a prosperous and fair society. Across Sindh, solemn ceremonies marked the anniversary, reflecting the enduring legacy of a leader who sacrificed her life for democracy and justice.
