Islamabad, Dec 11 : Pakistan Muslim League-N Nawaz Sharif has pledged to track down the killers of the country’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto at the earliest possible if his party was voted in power, slamming the Government headed by President Asif Ali Zardari for its failure to do so even four years after her assassination in a bomb-and-gun attack in Rawalpindi on December 27.

This was the first time that Sharif addressed a public meeting in the stronghold of the Bhuttos.

Recalling Butto’s assassination on December 27, 2007, Sharif said he rushed to the hospital along with his party men to know about his political rival’s condition there.

He said when doctors told them that the former prime minister had succumbed to injuries, a large number of leaders and workers of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) surrounded him to say that they were expecting the killers to be brought to justice when the PML-N returned to power, The Nation reports.

Sharif said Benazir was like his sister and as a brother he would do his level best to bring the guilty to justice. (ANI)
