Islamabad : Slain former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s message which she had written for the people of Pakistan will be read out by her teenager son Bilawal after public prayers Sunday evening, a leader of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) said Saturday.
Bhutto, who probably had some premonition of impending events, had penned a message after the Oct 18 Karachi bombing that killed 139 people. She had made a narrow escape then, but after that she wrote the message and said that it should be opened and read in case of her death, Jehangir Badr, a PPP leader, told IANS.
He said that the party has decided that Bhutto’s 19-year-old son will read this message after the prayer meeting at her ancestral home in Larkana.
He said he was not aware of the contents of the letter but Bhutto had said at several party meetings that she had written a letter that should only be read in the case of her death.
Bhutto, who was killed after her rally in Rawalpindi Thursday, had said that there were some elements in the government and Pakistan’s politics who were engineering murderous attacks on her.
She had publicly stated that she had identified these elements and written to President Pervez Musharraf saying these people should be held responsible if she was murdered.
