Liaqat Baloch said that martyrdom of former prime minister, former opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was a national tragedy. “I had an opportunity to work with her in the National Assembly, opposition and national political front and found her competent and audacious leader,” he remarked.

It is a debacle that all governments including the governments of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) could not unfold the murder of former prime minister, he said and added Benazir Bhutto continued politics of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto but afterwards the PPP indulged in interest-based rule and sea of corruption.

He said that nomination papers on seats of National Assembly, provincial assembly, women and minorities have been submitted across the country.

Liaqat Baloch said that incapable, incompetent two groups are imposed on the nation with a particular strategy. He said still establishment is imposing game of blue-eyed and another blue-eyed which would remain a futile effort and added that Jamaat-e-Islami through its elections campaign would prepare the voters to deal with such conspiracies.
