Bureau Report
KARACHI—Former Prime Minister and Chairperson Pakistan People's Party,
Benazir Bhutto has returned home amid emergency on Saturday night.
She landed at Karachi Airport via flight no. EK-602 at about 10:45 pm
and was received by PPP office bearers and workers. Rehman Malik and
Naheed Khan also accompanied with BB, it is learnt. Reports said that
she would go to Bilawal House where other office bearers are awaiting
for her to discuss the state of emergency in Pakistan.
Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani prime minister has said that
security in her country has “collapsed” and accused the authorities of
turning a “blind eye” to armed groups in several regions. “Not only are
our tribal areas out of our control, but even the beautiful valley of
Swat is now under takeover by Islamists,” Bhutto said on Al Jazeera’s
Frost Over the World programme.
She said that “internal security has totally collapsed in Pakistan” and
that this could not be the case “without there being some blind eye if
not collusion being turned to the rise of the militants and militancy”.
