People Party to petition United Nations for investigation

Filed Under Pakistan 

According to reports appearing in the press the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) would dispatch a petition to the United Nations requesting for a probe by the world body into the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. No doubt it was a very sad incident and in her death the country has lost a political leader who had mass following in the public. But political matters are not solved by emotions only. We have to be patient and realistic. To have contact with international figures does not give any person or party the right to call for international help in national matters.

The United Nations can be approached only when another country is involved as in the case of the murder of the former Prime Minister of Lebanon Mr. Rafik Hariri where Syria was directly accused. Asif Ali Zardari, the spouse of the former Prime Minister has said that the UN can interfere because Al-Qaeda has been accused who are present in several countries. I think this assumption does not hold water because Al-Qaeda does not have a government and country.
