Pakistan’s Twitterati remembered the birthday of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto on Tuesday. Friends and supporters showed an outpouring of love and encouraged people to donate blood as part of the national campaign to commemorate the assassinated Pakistan People’s Party leader.
Happy 58th Birthday to an incomparable woman, hero, leader and more importantly – mother. Every year my father presented my mother with dozens of roses for her birthday. Following this tradition, we placed 58 bouquets on her grave.
Just donated blood to honour my leader and mother Shaheed Mothrama Benazir Bhutto…Happy Birthday.
Thinking of Benazir Bhutto and her family Bakhtawar, Aseefa and Bilawal today. An irreplaceable loss for Pakistan
In memory of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, who would have celebrated her 58th birthday on June 21 #Pakistan
Millions have been spent to advertise Benazir’s Birthday while the country is starving to death. Should we even be shocked?
Bhutto Sahab Shahnawaz, Murtaza and finally my leader, sister and friend Bibi as I called her. Cruel country but we can’t give up.
Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, Salmaan Taseer, Shahbaz Bhatti, Saleem Shahzad and so many others – nameless and faceless.
Benazir Bhutto wrote to me “I have been impressed by your courage and determination in the face of such backwardness and fundamentalism.”
Benazir Bhutto’s birthday today; a life to be celebrated. Face of a liberal and progressive Pakistan.
Happy birthday to #Benazir Bhutto – we salute our martyrs
Few women have the guts to fight the system in Pakistan – despite her shortcomings Benazir Bhutto did I await the new female PM of Pakistan
But there were many who betrayed BB, maligned her and now mourning her loss. A society at war against itself. Look at the trolls.

We would also very much like to learn what they have to say . I dare you .Recommend
@Ijaz Bhai, how much arew you willing 2 part with (I mean money) to make up for this catastrophic loss.Recommend
The people are never wrong they can be poor they can be hungry but their thinking can never go astray(shaheed mohtarma benazeer bhutto)
shaheed BIBI you were the only source of inspiration for the poor hungry and deprived people of the country JEAY BHUTTO
@ D asghar everything isnt for money its our love our inspiration of millions of jiyalasRecommend
Another debacle with the murderer still on the loose – fingers pointing at political heads – and basically nothing other than politicians scoring points. You apparently don’t care if people assassinate national hero’s which says something particularly bad about Pakistan.Recommend
Many people from around the world have congratulated His Royal Highness, Prince of England on his 29th birthday on June 21, 2011.
People of Pakistan should congratulate Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto (Shaheed) on her 58th birthday on June 21, 2011, irrespective of political differences with PPP, as she was assassinated on December 27, 2011.
She came to Pakistan for the sake of people of Pakistan.Recommend
WOW, attempt to raise BB above the levels of Jinnah and Liaquat Ali Khan by PPP. Fortunately Pakistani’s have a very short memory as soon as the PPP government is out of office no one shall even remember her birthday. Another effort to raise her to the level of a saint by Zardari and Co.Recommend
@Elyas Bhai, my tweet was copied here, it was in response to Ijaz Ul Haq’s tweet, where he criticized that millions have been spent in birthday celeberations of SMBB. So I asked him to put his money where his mouth is. I am a jiyala odf my own type as well. Just wanted to clarify.Recommend
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed was a personality that influenced everyone. She was a great democrat and a fighter. Her martyrdom had great effect on me. My life is now dedicated to the eradication of poverty and upholding the flag of freedom. Salman Taseer’s martyrdom has enforced my commitment to the above resolves and I am humbly proud to be a fellow comrade of the People Of Pakistan who strive for the same.
