Recalling the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto
Benazir Bhutto, a significant figure in world politics known for her dedication to democracy, was assassinated weeks before the 2007 general elections. The tragic incident occurred following an election rally at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi, leaving Bhutto and several party activists dead.
The aftermath of her death saw a wave of anarchy and arson, leading to substantial losses in the country. Her legacy for her struggle for democracy continues to be honoured and acknowledged worldwide.
