ISLAMABAD The major opposition party in National Assembly, Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz), on Wednesday submitted an adjournment motion in the lower house seeking to register FIR in the assassination case of PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto.
  
Earlier when National Assembly started its stormy session on Saturday, the PML-N lawmakers for the first time raised repeated slogans of `BB ham sharminda hain teray katil zinda hain` (we are ashamed before Benazir Bhutto as her murderers are still alive) when it confronted the treasury.
  
The motion, piloted by PML-N MNA from Rawalpindi Muhammad Hanif Abbasi and signed by some 18 other party legislators, says that `It is a regrettable fact that after more than one year has passed on the `martyrdom` of Benazir Bhutto,  neither any FIR has been registered nor any anyone has become her heir apparent.`
  
`We therefore demand of the government and especially the Pakistan Peoples Party to immediately go for registration of FIR and if there was any impediment in this way the PML-N was ready to become complainant.`
  
The mover recalled that president Asif Ali Zardari had disclosed some time back that he knew the assassins of his spouse and therefore it would be a great blessing for the nation if he unmasks the said culprits. He volunteered his party to become a party to register the FIR as complainant.
  
Prominent among those who have signed the motion include; former NWFP chief minister Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan, Khwaja Asif and Anjum Aqil Khan.
