BB and media

08 Mar, 2004

Of late Benazir Bhutto is showing visible signs of being under stress. The other day she snubbed PJ Mir interviewing her on the ARY for asking her as to why did she not clear her position regarding their Swiss Bank accounts.
And now, according to some insiders, on instructions from her the party stalwarts staged a demonstration at Geo TV offices in Islamabad for telecasting "Ham Sab Umeed Say Hain" in which someone caricaturing her uttered certain unpalatable truths.
Protesters have threatened to spread the demonstrations countrywide.
One thought that the political leaders of her standing were more tolerant and believed more in the freedom of the media than the military rulers.
But surely, Pervez Musharraf has beaten her hands down in this field.
I wonder how would BB have reacted had she been subjected to what all Musharraf takes smilingly from the media?
