Sindh Assembly on Sunday unanimously passed a resolution to pay tributes to Mohtrama Benazir Bhutto on her 73rd birth anniversary.

The resolution was moved by CM Syed Murad Ali Shah. The resolution described Mohtrama Benazir Bhutto as a former prime minister of Pakistan, the "Daughter of the East," and the first elected female prime minister of the Muslim world.

It paid glowing tribute to her services to democracy, public welfare, constitutional supremacy, social justice, federal harmony, women's rights and the uplift of marginalized communities.
