Benazir Bhutto’s 59th birth anniversary today
The 59th anniversary of former premier and the late Pakistan Peoples Party chairperson, Benazir Bhutto, will be observed today.
To mark the occasion, blood donation camps have been arranged all over Pakistan; both by PPP chapters in various cities and other organisations as well. In Karachi, various camps have been set up by the party’s local chapter in addition to one set up by the National Bank of Pakistan at its head office in collaboration with the Peoples Doctors’ Forum. The Fatimid Foundation has set up various camps all across Sindh as well.
Sindh Minister for Local Government Agha Siraj Khan Durrani, meanwhile, is overlooking arrangements for the anniversary at Garhi Khuda Bux. He informed that in addition to collection of blood donations, free food will be distributed among the residents of Garhi Khuda Bux. The commemoration itself will consist of laying of wreaths at the graves of the Bhutto family.
In his message on the eve of the anniversary, President Asif Ali Zardari while reiterating the party’s commitment to the Parliament and Constitution, said the PPP had survived the “judicial murder of its founder ZA Bhutto and judicial abuse aimed at Benazir Bhutto, which culminated in her exile”.

Raja Pervez Ashraf was the gift on her birthday as PM.
She was first woman prime minister of an Islamic state. who was directly elected by the people of Pakistan. It was great and unique honor for her.
Benazir was not the name of a Lady; but the name of a CAUSE and with that CAUSE Benazir lives! RIP Mother
RIP Mother!
Happy 59th Birthday to the Martyr of Democracy SMBB. Dhundo gey agar mulkon mulkon, Milnay kay nahin nayab hain hum...
A leader only on media otherwise its own party did not lodge FIR against her killer.
she was a great lady.. had vision, courage and quality of being a good leader. Her husband is just the opposite..
good work
It is not birth anniversary but just the 59th birthday. That Tribune should make such a mistake is surprising.
Who Cares !!
