In Memorium


Were she alive, chances are I would have been denouncing the dynastic rule she represents and amnesties she gifted her criminally-charged husband.

But in her death, her loss makes one keenly aware of how pivotal she was to transform Pakistan into a secular and democratic nation.

She will be sorely missed in the fight against terrorism.


But what's with all the rioting over "grief" in her country? Goondaraj, the rule of mob, does no credit to either her memory or the the causes she said she represented.
