It has been 13 years today that Mir Murtaza Bhutto, an elected member of the parliament was murdered along Ashiq Jatoi, Sattar Rajpar, Shajad Haider Ghakro, Rahim Brohi, Yar Mohammad Baloch, and Wajahat Jokhio as they were returning home from a public meeting on the outskirts of Karachi. And yet their killers still live freely.
All these men, all complicit in the murder Shoaib Suddle, Wajid Durrani,RaiTahir,Shahid Hayat,Agha Jamil,Shakaib Qureshi,Masood Sharif were absolutely absolved of their role and in fact were given promotions in their various posts and departments by the then ruling PPP government. Facts and records in this assassination point out to a hand in the highest level of the government. Nothing however has been done about it in spite of the truth being known.
Where is the justice to all those seven families that have lost their loved ones while their killers fearlessly continue to live in Pakistan and abroad? Fatima Bhutto has constantly and relentlessly tried to keep the issue alive and in the spotlight through the power of her pen. She continues to seek justice for her father and for those that do not have the power to voice an opinion.
Please let your voice be heard no matter which part of the world you belong to.
Martin Luther King has said ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.’ The guilty have to be punished and let us all come together to fight for justice, not only for Mir Murtaza Bhutto but all those six families, that lost their loved one on that fateful night 13 years ago. We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.
Let us as free citizens of this world contribute in our own way to demand justice from the current government of Pakistan and get the case on fast track to make the murderers accountable for what they have done. Sign this petition demanding justice immediately for Mir Murtaza Bhutto and his friends killed on 20th September 1996.
Go sign it and forward it to everyone you know
