BENAZIR ELIMINATED
ARVIND K.PANDEY
(Published in BUSINESS ECONOMICS , FEB.29,2008)
The assassination of Benazir has shattered the hopes of arrival of democracy in Pakistan . Ironically , her worst fear that she could be eliminated at the hands of terrorists turned out to be true within no time . It's shocking that adequate security arrangements were always missing in her rallies even as the possibility of a terrorist attack loomed large over head . The brutal death of Benazir once again brings to the fore the harsh reality that in Pakistan the hard-liners are the real controller of everything happening in Pakistan . Anybody who dares to challenge their supremacy is bound to meet a deadly fate . Needless to state , Military is hand-in-glove with radical gropus , who are not interested in installation of democracy in Pakistan . Today , Pakistan has turned into emblem of insecurity and unstability , with Military-Mullah axis becoming stronger with each passing day . Musharraf , the picture of pity and helpnessness , can't do much other than making false promises of total elimination of terrorism . Even Mr. Bush , more or less , feels safe in remaining blissfully ignorant about what's actually taking place in Pakistan . Ultimately , the burden to usher in real changes has fallen upon the shoulders of the people of Pakistan , who are , at present , shell-shocked and totally confused .
