PESHAWAR:
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Rubina Khalid has said she is rendered speechless by people who ask her how the party's founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was still alive.
"The objectives for which the party leadership had offered sacrifices could not be achieved and we don't have any answers when asked how [Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is still alive," Khalid told participants at a seminar in Peshawar on Wednesday.
The party's leadership, she added, is also unable to explain why it had failed to transfer its ideology to future generations.
According to her, students' unions bring about the future leadership but the PPP's ideology had not been conveyed to the youths.
PPP loses the Bhutto touch
"Benazir Bhutto always remained with her party workers despite the threats to her life," she said. "Benazir's demise was a great loss for Pakistan as leaders like her don't emerge but in centuries."
"There are many who claim to represent the party. However, only a few truly understand its ideology," she added.
Speaking on the occasion, vice president of the doctors' union Syed Ayub Shah said Benazir was fully aware of the threats to her life but she never stopped taking to the streets in her attempts to oust former dictator Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf.
Shah claimed that Musharraf saw Benazir as a threat and was involved in her murder.
"Bilawal Bhutto must follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and return to the party its lost glory," he said.
