MURTAZA BHUTTO WAS OPPOSED TO BENAZIR’S MARRIAGE WITH ASIF ZARADARI – MQM INTELLIGENCE WING

London – 12 March 2004
The MQM Intelligence Wing has issued 2^nd installment about PPP’s atrocities upon Murtaza Bhutto’s family.  When Shaheed Bhutto Group’s leader Murtaza Bhutto was in exile in Damascus and came to know that his sister Benazir was getting married to Asif Zardari, he opposed this marriage on the ground that Asif Zardari’s father Hakim Zardari rejoiced when Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was hanged, he also distributed sweets to mark his pleasure.  But the marriage was settled became Benazir’s mother Nusrat Bhutto and Zardari’s (Hakim) second wife are cousins.  The Bhutto clan however, opposed the marriage because they did not want Benazir to marry into a Balooch family.  Despite the clan’s opposition Nusrat Bhutto did not alter her decision because she wanted to strengthen her bond with her cousin.  In view of party’s opposition to the marriage Benazir called a meeting of the party workers no at 70 Clifton.  The office bearers advised her against this marriage and suggested that instead of marrying the son of her opponents she should look for a suitor among the PPP cadre.  However, the PPP workers rejoiced on this occassion Benazir was furious and told off everyone not to interfere in her affairs.  Watch for the next installment of the Intelligence Wing.
