Members of Pakistani community remember late Benazir Bhutto
Tribune News Network Doha Members of Pakistani community in Qatar paid glowing tributes to Pakistan's ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto, the Islamic world's first female Prime Minister and a staunch advocate for democracy, on the occasion of her 72nd birthday. Born on June 21, 1953, Bhutto survived three assassination attempts before being assassinated on December 27, 2007, shortly after addressing an election rally at the historic Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi. Prominent among those who attended the meet organised by Pakistan People's Welfare Association (PPWA) were Malik Sarfaraz Khan, chief patron; Malik Shahid Nazir, president; Fazal, vice president; and Raja Aftab Ahmed, general secretary. The speakers paid heartfelt tributes to the late Benazir Bhutto, portraying her as a selfless and visionary leader who tirelessly championed the rights of the underprivileged, women, and marginalized communities. They reflected on her pivotal role in fortifying democratic institutions in Pakistan and acknowledged her unwavering commitment to the nation's democratic evolution. The Bhutto family, they noted, has made enduring contributions to the country's progress, consistently advocating for the welfare of the common people. They emphasised that Benazir Bhutto dedicated her entire life to public service, embodying a legacy of courage, compassion, and national devotion. Bhutto was popularly known as daughter of the East. She paid her first visit to Qatar in August 1994. She later came here in 2002 and 2006. In recognition of her courageous struggle for democracy and protection of the human rights, UN posthumously honoured Bhutto with Human Rights award in 2008.
