“The CPI-M strongly condemns this attack. Clearly there are forces who are seeking to destabilise Pakistan and not allow the transition to democracy to succeed,” the party politburo said in a statement.

“These efforts must be thwarted,” it said.

Bhutto, leader of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), was killed in an apparent suicide attack during an election rally in Rawalpindi Thursday evening.

The CPI-M politburo conveyed its condolences to Bhutto’s family, PPP and to the people of Pakistan.
