ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Peoples Party decided on Thursday to become party in the Benazir Bhutto murder case and in this regards submitted two applications to gain access to the case records.

A public prosecutor had been advocating the case prior to the decision.The PPP on its exit from power had decided to lead the case itself.

The trial of the accused persons, including former president Pervez Musharraf, in the Benazir Bhutto murder case started afresh for the third time in the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) here on Tuesday.

The former military ruler General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was indicted on three counts on Aug 20 this year, in Rawalpindi's anti-terrorism court (ATC) over the 2007 murder of ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

For five long years when in complete power and with all the resources at their disposal the PPP did nothing seriously to determine the killers. In fact, it is the very PPP that bid adieu to Musharraf with an honor guard. Now they want to play politics again over Benazir's death. What nonsense!

Are they want to gain some more concessions from their Masters abroad and here where they are playing a friendly political match to participate in the courts proceeding.
