Illogical and unbelievable it would have, no doubt, sounded to men and women of ordinary intelligence, but the PPP high command that pretends to take guidance at every step of the way, especially in the 'democratic governance of the country from the precepts and examples set by Benazir Bhutto, has, in its wisdom, come to the conclusion that the inquiry report about her assassination should not be made public. Only a select few from the party would be made privy and that too by a briefing. One fails to understand, though, what cogent reasons could have prompted the PPP Central Executive Committee that met at Naudero on Sunday to make that decision, which, on the face of it, was only intended to perpetuate the mystery about those responsible for the murder. It is an invitation to the nation, which universally mourns her loss the more so because of the reproachable conduct of her successors, to continue to make wild guesses about the culprits. The stratagem of keeping the reports contents secret cannot be without any motive, and the people, left to make surmises, would be justified in concluding that it is designed to protect some high profile individuals from the charge of murder. While not wanting to divulge FIAs findings about Benazirs assassination, the government is, however, keen to reopen the case of Zulfikar Ali Bhuttos judicial murder on the supposed ground of setting historical records straight. President Zardari, speaking on the eve of the 32nd death anniversary of Bhutto at Garghi Khuda Bux, thought that not asking for retrial of the case would tantamount to betraying the trust reposed in his government or not paying the debt one owed. His address, delivered from behind the bullet-proof glass frame, was a rambling, discursive speech, claiming to have fulfilled commitments made to the people and accusing the opponents of craving for making newspaper headlines; moving on to the promise of clearing the electoral rolls of bogus entries; to holding free and fair general elections; to effecting constitutional amendments; to refusal to hold the trial of Benazirs grave. Mr Zardari is labouring under a grave misconception; the people are not taken in by the emotional reference to Benazirs grave. They simply want to know who had conspired to murder her and who had actually carried out the despicable act. The PPPs top leadership claims to know these evil people and to have even arrested them; so there should be no hitch in exposing them before the public, taking them to a court of law for a proper trial and, if convicted, giving them condign punishment. Digging up ZABs decades-old case under the assumed notion of the debt owed to the great leader, while trying to cover up the findings of Benazirs three-year murder case present an irreconcilable picture of the Zardari-led government to the public that, alas our leadership either does not know or does not want to acknowledge, is much too wiser for such deceptions.
