Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson Benazir Bhutto has condemned what she termed continued victimisation of political opponents by the present government. In a statement issued here on Friday, Benazir called upon the rulers to stop the politics of vendetta what she thought was threatening the social fabric. Benazir, the two-time former prime minister, was commenting on the sacking of a Sindh government official to avenge his MPA wife's role in the no trust vote against the speaker Sindh assembly.
Imtiaz Ahmad Rajpar DDO (Revenue) Mirpur Khas, the spouse of PPP MPA Farheen Moghul, was suspended from his post without any reason soon after the no trust vote in the provincial assembly. His wife has reportedly played an active role in the no trust move.
Bhutto deplored the sense of insecurity of the 'political orphans' in the regime, which she said were resorting to vendetta instead of facing challenges.
She said that the no trust vote against the speaker was the democratic right that was exercised by the opposition to express their distrust. "If political differences are settled through recourse to personal vendetta, it will only strengthen vengeance politics", she said and demanded the immediate reinstatement of the suspended official and an end to political victimisation.
