Benazir will return to Pakistan before elections

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has reiterated that she will return to Pakistan to participate in the next elections.

Islamabad, May 29 : Former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has reiterated that she will return to Pakistan to participate in the next elections.

A statement issued to the media, rejected incumbent Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz's claim that Bhutto could not participate in the elections as several cases were pending against her.

Rabbani, a PPP activist, was quoted by the daily Times as saying that the world knew that cases against Bhutto were politically motivated.

"She had not been convicted in a single case despite ten years of witch hunting, media trial and squandering of taxpayers' money on tarnishing her image," he claimed.

Rabbani said that the Supreme Court had not only overturned her conviction, but had also observed in an appeal in one of the cases that the bias of the trial judge floated on the surface of the record forcing the judges to quit most unceremoniously.

"She will not only return to the country but also take part in elections and if the people of Pakistan voted her into power she will be the Prime Minister for the third time as well," he asserted.
