SPOTLIGHT ON
Shocking incident
with
Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto addressed a large gathering of "Think Tank" representatives,
advisers to American policymakers, congressional staffers, and members of
Pakistani-American community at the Capital Hill today (Tuesday, September
25). The largest hall in the Russell Senate Building was filled to capacity
as more than 300 attendees crowded the hall, many standing at the back of
the hall. Ms. Bhutto was greeted with standing ovations by many members of
the Pakistani-American community at the beginning and at the end of her address.
The topic of the address was "The Political Situation in Pakistan" and almost all of the questions were on what she would do if her party was returned to power. The event was organized by The Middle East Institute (MEI). The session was moderated by for Former ambassador and the MEI President Wendy Chamberlin. The key points made by her were as follows:
1. The most important problem of Pakistan was terrorism and terrorists in Pakistan as it threatens Pakistan's security and well-being.
2. She said that the one way to resolve the issue is to address the concerns of poverty and non-representation in the FATA areas, where people do not have adequate education, health, and employment opportunities. There is no proper court system in those areas and there have a limited representation in the decision-making bodies. She held military regimes responsible for these conditions. She said that her father had achieved a remarkable progress in eliminating some of these inequities and she brought partial improvements during her government.
3. She said that founder of Pakistan had articulated the vision of Pakistan where every one regardless of their religious orientation, gender, or ethnicity will enjoy equal rights. She declared that Pakistan is not supposed to a religious country. In past, religious parties have gotten no more than 11% of vote. If the upcoming elections are fair and free, the religious parties will get even lesser vote.
4. She criticized the present government for trying to fire Chief justice and for creating a system that lacks "Rule of Law". She said that the current Election Commission is showing partiality as more than 30 million persons are missing from electoral rolls and the commission is making up rules that are contrary to the Pakistan's election laws.What we want is a fair playing level. She repeated the famous quote by Joseph that "Those who vote do not decide winners, but those who count the votes choose winners".
5. She said her approach would be to mobilize moderate middle of the population so that fringe on both the right and the left are not able to manipulate their way to take Pakistan to one or other extreme.
