opportunity to rethink and re-strategise our
priorities. One thought that comes to my mind is to

to replenish the subsoil water reservoirs for use in
drought conditions, the president said adding that he

consisted of allowing enhanced market access for Pak
products, according preferential trade facilities,
creating ROZs and more investments in the country. The

President Asif Ali Zardari's Address at Garhi Khuda Bux
December 27, 2009 |
 Garhi
Khuda Bux is the Karbala of Shaheeds (Martyrs) and the
PPP is the heir of all those martyrs. Every child of the
PPP is a son of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and every daughter
is a daughter of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto.
Now Garhi Khuda Bux is asking me what was the fault of
Shaheed Benazir Bhutto? I say that her only mistake was
that she continued the mission of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
She committed a mistake by bringing missile technology
to Pakistan. Her fault was that She completed the
unfinished mission of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. She added
missile technology to the nuclear capability of
Pakistan.
