RAWALPINDI: A Rawalpindi court rejected a request for daily hearing of Benazir Bhutto murder case, Express News reported on Saturday.

The request, filed by the prosecutor, was submitted against the slow progress of the case.

Recently in the murder case, the Pakistan government asked Interpol to issue red warrant for Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, who was declared prime suspect in the case.

The official, who is dealing with Benazir Bhutto’s assassination case, had revealed that Musharraf requested Interpol to dismiss the request and treat his case as a matter of “political and military character”.

Benazir was shot dead in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007 after a Pakistan Peoples Party rally in the city.

Basic problem of pakistan is lack of education, people do not understand and know the basic democracy. You have to give them modern education. In my opinion Musharraf was right. He said " This nation is not ready for democracy", " What it needs is education". Look at the result of pak kind of democracy in five years. People are talking about the Musharraf era as positive side.
