ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is observing the 15th death anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto today.

The party will hold a public rally in Larkana today.

PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari issued a video message on the occasion and invited the people to the public rally marking the event when the country’s first female prime minister was martyred in a terror attack.

Bilawal said that he has reached Larkana where they will pay tribute to Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.

“We draw inspiration from her heroic struggle against dictatorship and extremism,” he said in a video message. 

“Shaheed Benazir Bhutto taught us to serve the people, to strive for a Pakistan for all, not just a privileged few.”

Former president Asif Ali Zardari said the announcement of the institutions being apolitical is also a realization of the dream of Benazir Bhutto, as it will give stability to democracy and establish credibility for the country. 

He said that he can never neglect the mission of Shaheed Benazir. 

“He was guided by her politics and is still being guided by her philosophy,” Zardari said.

The PPP supremo said that no one else faced the difficulties that Shaheed Benazir had faced for the sake of the constitution and democracy. “She was a symbol of patience and endurance,” he said. 

The former president said that Benazir Bhutto bravely resisted the barbaric and brutal dictators. 

“We are strong and steadfast on her ideology because of her teachings,” he said, adding that the continuation of democracy was her dream and by the grace of the Almighty Allah, that dream has been fulfilled.

Zardari said that the PPP is striving to make the country free from all kinds of extremism, where there is the light of knowledge, jobs for the people, equal opportunities for the youth to move forward, women free from the shackles of fear, and minorities with a respectable place in the society. 

“This will be a Pakistan envisioned by Shaheed Benazir,” he said.

The Court also issued an order to re-vote on 12 polling stations in Chaman’s PB-51 seat.

The court returns the case to the election commission with the candidates’ assent and orders the ECP to rule within 10 days of hearing the candidates.

“Under what rule did the ECP order re-polling in 12 polling stations?” Justice Ameenuddin Khan inquired. “The election commission saw 12 polling stations and ignored others,” Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar stated.

According to Justice Ameenuddin, the election commission did not undertake any inquiries or adhere to any principles.

“Only those polling stations were checked where maximum turnout of votes pointed out in petitions,” claimed the ECP’s DG Law.

Justice Mazhar stated that the ECP should have investigated the entire constituency.

On the request of a rival candidate, Muhammad Asghar Achakzai, the election body ordered re-elections in his constituency.

The case was considered by a three-member bench of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Ameenuddin Khan.

Re-elections were ordered by the Election Commission at polling stations 56, 57, 61, 62, 79, 89, 90, 91, 95, 106, 129, and 130 in the PB-51 constituency.

In February, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Captain (retd) Abdul Khaliq Achakzai was chosen Speaker of the Balochistan Assembly without opposition.
