The Beginning of The End


The begininng of end in Pakistan. That's the one line summarising this tragic death of Benazir Bhutto. At one point of time Rajiv Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto were the two leaders who were in the centrstage of south east Asia and it was anticipated that these two leaders are going to change the face of SE Asia in the days to come. The story ended in a sad note with Rajiv Gandhi's death (Almost in the same manner) and Benazir leaving Pakistan in odd circumstances. The assassination of Benazir, leaves a question mark on the possible restoration of democracy in Pakistan.The debate has already started on who is responsible for the recent happenings in Pakistan. Gen. Musharraf, who once supported the extremists to spread terror in India,finally made a situation that Pakistan itself has become the prime target for the extremists. The sadest part of the story is the person who was not there at all these times, became a victim of extremism. History will remember Benazir as a brave leader who sacrificed her life for the good of Pakistan and the fellow countrymen. At this point of time will anybody sympathise with Mr. Musharraf or will cry for him? Its high time, when he should realize the fact. If he doesn't, he is not doing good either for Pakistan or for himself.
