Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations Abdullah Hussain Haroon has described Shaheed Benazir Bhutto as a "charismatic and an able leader" devoted to the people's welfare and strengthening the country. In a statement marking her first death anniversary, Ambassador Haroon said.
"The Shahadat of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto on December 27, 2007 was a black day in the history of Pakistan. Her martyrdom was a setback for all those who believe in democracy, freedom of expression, rule of law, rights of minorities, women and oppressed".
"Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto was not only a great states person but also a charismatic and an able leader committed to make Pakistan a liberal, progressive, modern and democratic nation. "Let us today resolve as a nation that we will not be cowed down by those evil forces who assassinated Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and work for the ideals and goals for which she paid the ultimate price".
