Pakistan is observing the 18th death anniversary of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto today. She was assassinated on December 27, 2007, in a gun-and-bomb attack near Rawalpindi’s Liaquat Bagh.
The Sindh government has declared a public holiday, while tight security has been put in place in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh, Larkana, where hundreds of thousands are expected to gather at her mausoleum. President Asif Ali Zardari, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, and senior party leaders are attending the commemoration.
Leaders paid tribute to Benazir’s legacy as the first female prime minister of a Muslim country, praising her struggle for democracy, inclusion, women’s empowerment, and minority rights. Her message of “democracy is the best revenge” continues to inspire generations across Pakistan.
