Express April 17, 2010

KARACHI: Pakistan's envoy to the United Nations, Abdullah Haroon said on Saturday that the incumbent government is unlikely to take steps to address the security failures detailed in a UN report on BB's assassination.

In an interview, Abdullah Haroon said the report gives a ‘very clean factual picture’ and contained no major errors. But he said that he saw very slim chances on the part of the government to take the findings to their conclusion.

He added that the UN report called for police reform measures; strong and effective intelligence services, and strengthening of democratic rule of law in Pakistan.

asad baig | 14 years ago | Reply They cant do anything about it. Its all talk and no work. The report was delayed in a clever manner in order to avoid clash with the 18th amendment hype. Now this report will be used to distract public even further. 5 million was spent on this report, money well needed and money soo wasted.

A common Pakistani | 14 years ago | Reply Not a surprise at all. The current government hasn't done anything that it promised to do. No proper steps to deal with the power shortage (yeah, getting commission in private power sector doesn't count) No security improvement in country. Look at rupee's value, the inflation was never seen this bad. I just ask president zardari, will just keep shouting Pakistan Khapey, while stabbing every pakistan in the back, one by one.?? He doesn't even have the moral integrity to come before the judges to clean up his swiss accounts mess .. yeah sure he got immunity, but seriuosly he thinks pakistanis are so dumb that he can use his powers and slap everyone int he face like that. Not a single chance he'll take any proper measure to find the murderers, i'm not even sure if its anyone else than the party people themselves.

Altaf Hussain | 14 years ago | Reply Zardari has cashed her death so well he could never imagine in her life. On the other hand he is less dangerous for Pakistan than BB. Dictators seem to be more clever than politicians. It worked out better for Musharraf too. What will Aitzaz Ahsen say now. A few more millions in his pocket and all is well?

Syed A. Mateen | 14 years ago | Reply What is new in it? Every one knows before hand that nothing new is going to come out from UN investigations. UN report is published just to fill in the blanks. People were expecting that UN will prepare a sensational and detailed report and will throw light on the matters that were discussed between General (R) Pervez Musharraf and Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in UAE. BB made up her mind to come to Pakistan after successful negotiations between the former President and former Prime Minister. And she did land on Pakistan’s soil alive. The caravan started from Karachi Airport and started moving slowly and gradually, but alas bombs exploded on Shahrah-e-Faisal. Despite the terrorists attack, BB survived and reached Bilawal House safely. The conspiracy to kill BB did not stopped here. And finally people who wanted to see BB dead got her on December 27, 2007. Benazir Bhutto’s era concluded on that day, leaving behind uncounted people in Pakistan and abroad to mourn her untimely death.

Nadir El Edroos | 14 years ago | Reply Am I missing something here? "Abdullah Haroon said on Saturday that the incumbent government is unlikely to take steps to address the security failures detailed in a UN report on BB’s assassination" So the government, run by the party whose leader was assassinated is saying that it will not act on the findings of the investigation that the same political party demanded should take place?
