Musharraf resignation avenges my mother’s death: Bilawal
KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman and son of former Premier slain Benazir Bhutto on Monday hailed the resignation of Pervez Musharraf, saying the next president would be from his party. “After the martyrdom of my mother I said that democracy was the best revenge – and today it was proved true,” said 19-year-old Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. “Someone from the PPP would be the next president but I don’t know who that would be,” he told private news television channel at Karachi airport after flying in from Dubai.
The party won the most seats in elections in February and now leads a coalition government that also includes the party of Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister ousted by Musharraf in 1999. Asif Ali Zardari, his father and party co-chairman is the effective chief of the PPP and reports have said that he is in the running to replace Musharraf, although he would be a divisive choice.-SANA
