 Nawaz Sharif urges authorities to expose Benazir Bhutto’s murderers

PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif urged authorities to reopen Benazir Bhutto’s murder case and expose her murderers. Nawaz Sharif, who is an activist in the Memogate scandal, addressed media outside Islamabad High Court and stressed that authorities should bring
Benazir’s murderers to justice.

He also criticised President Asif Ali Zardari’s claim that reopening Benazir’s murder case would be a trial of her grave. Nawaz Sharif added that he does not want to disrespect her grave, but to expose her killers.

While replying to a question related to the Swiss accounts and the execution of Supreme Court’s decision in the NRO issue, he said, “Why is the government reluctant to write to Swiss authorities? Linking the embezzlements with Benazir’s grave is not fair.
They must answer whose 60 million rupees have been kept in Switzerland banks. This is nation’s wealth which it now wants back.”

He proclaimed that Zardari’s decision to consider only Parliamentary Committee’s report on the memo case was an act of no confidence in the judicial system of Pakistan.

“I’m just a complainant in the case. I appeared before the commission to show my respect towards the judiciary,” Nawaz Sharif said.

On the contrary, he said that Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS) has made no progress on the issue until now.

After giving in his written statement on the memo case through his advisor, Mustafa Ramday, Sharif told that, “I have not named Haqqani or Zardari, I have just pleaded for an investigation into the matter.”

While expressing his concern over the Memogate scandal, Sharif proclaimed that it is a very sensitive matter and was a conspiracy against Pakistan’s honour. He clarified that he had not posed allegations on anyone and is appearing in the court to show his
respect to the judiciary.

When asked about President Pervaiz Musharraf’s return to Pakistan, he said, “It is good news.”

Nevertheless, the judiciary has continued its inquiry on the memo case whereas the parliamentary committee will start its investigation on Tuesday. Moreover, the judiciary was given a four-week deadline while no time limit has been specified to PCNS.
