Default Re: Karachi stampede kills up to 20 women, children

Reminds me of this segment from an old article:
Mansoor Ijaz on Benazir Bhutto: Idealism, to Debasement, to Return, to Tragedy Flaggman’s Canada

I remember asking her in a meeting in Islamabad at the prime minister’s residence in early 1996 as I presented her with evidence of her family’s corruption why she didn’t go and spend three or four days a week living in the villages of Pakistan with its suffering people so she could show her commitment to healing their pain. Her answer was typically imperious — “prime ministers don’t do that…”
