ISLAMABAD, Oct 12: People’s Party Chairperson Benazir Bhutto said on Thursday that misgovernance in the country had made the life of citizens a misery as crime has increased.

She condemned the murder of Larkana Union Council Naib Nazim’s son.

She said that the PPP demands early arrest of the culprits adding, “it is unacceptable that politically protected persons are getting away with crimes committed in day light”.

The former Prime Minister said that this was the result of unrepresentative government. She assured the people that PPP was fighting to give them the right to elect a government and hold it accountable to the people.

She saluted the PPP workers who had given untold sacrifices to make democracy possible so that the ills of crime, poverty, hunger and unemployment could be redressed and the country embark on the road to prosperity.

Ms Bhutto also condoled with Haji Khan Abbassi, Naib Nazim Larkana Union Council-4, whose son’s body was found from a rice canal this week. Mumtaz Ali Abbassi, 35, was missing since Oct 9.
