A resolution, presented in the US Senate, demands for independent investigation into Benazir Bhutto’s assassination and holding of elections in Pakistan without any delay enabling the country to return towards democracy.
The resolution was presented by chairman foreign relations committee Joseph Biden with American presidential candidate of opposition party Democrats Barrack Obama and majority leader in the senate Harry Reid.
Joseph Biden said that the murder of Benazir Bhutto was a political thunderbolt and those Americans who knew Benazir Bhutto personally were shocked like the Pakistanis by her assassination. He said that Benazir sacrificed her life for maintaining democracy, moderateness and economic justice in Pakistan.
He further said that it should be discovered that who was behind this murder and who was responsible for that. The resolution said that in the wake of this horrible situation, Pakistan is facing constant severe threats, which is a grave concern not only for Pakistan but also for America.
Joseph Biden said that until the issue is not resolved no government in Pakistan could effectively focus on threats from al Qaeda and Taliban and for this reason this resolution has been presented in the senate. This was demanded from the government of Pakistan in the resolution to revert to democracy without any delay and ensure the holding of independent elections.
