Zardari vows to carry forward BB's vision

President Asif Ali Zardari has reaffirmed the commitment to carrying forward PPP's slain chairperson Benazir Bhutto's vision of a democratic, inclusive, tolerant, pluralist and forward-looking Pakistan.

In his message on Benazir's 18th death anniversary, the president said today, the world in general and Pakistanis in particular remember "Shaheed-e-Jamhooriat, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto". "We honour a leader whose life and sacrifice are inseparable from Pakistan's democratic journey."

He said Benazir Bhutto was the first woman prime minister of the entire Islamic world, elected twice by the people of Pakistan.
