Benazir Bhutto, former two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan, was shot by a ruthless terrorist after addressing a large rally in Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007. She was rushed to the Rawalpindi General Hospital, but succumbed to her injuries. Born on June 21, 1953 in Karachi, Benazir Bhutto studied at the University of Karachi as well as Oxford and Harvard Universities. When her father Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was sentenced to death on April 4, 1979, she became the co-chairperson of the Pakistan Peoples' Party at the age of 25. She was detained by the military government for many years and then forcibly deported. Benazir Bhutto continued to lead her party in self-exile and returned home on April 10, 1986, after the abolition of Martial Law and the formation of a political government. She married Asif Ali Zardari on December 18, 1987. After the death of General Zia-ul-Haq in a plane crash on August 17, 1988, general elections were held in Pakistan on November 16, 1988 in which the Pakistan Peoples' Party emerged as the leading party of the country. Benazir succeeded in forming a coalition government with the help of the erstwhile Mohajir Qaumi Movement (MQM), candidates from the FATA coupled with a few independent candidates. On December 2, 1988, she became the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the first woman in the Islamic world to hold this position.
Her government lasted for merely 20 months as on August 6, 1990, the then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dismissed the elected government of Benazir Bhutto on corruption charges. From 1990 to 1993, she served as the leader of the Opposition, and was re-elected as Prime Minister in 1993, becoming the second person after her father Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to hold the position of Prime Minister for the second time. On November 5, 1996, the then President Sardar Farooq Ahmed Leghari, who also belonged to the PPP, sacked her government on corruption charges. In the 1997 general elections, the PPP suffered its worst defeat in its history. On April 15, 1999, the Lahore High Court sentenced her to five years in prison in cases lodged by the Nawaz Sharif's government.
Benazir Bhutto was living in Dubai at the time and so was able to avoid the awarded imprisonment. In the 2002 general elections, the PPP contested under the name of the Pakistan Peoples' Party Parliamentarians and won the highest number of votes in its history, but decided to sit in the Opposition. Benazir Bhutto remained in Dubai during this period. On May 14, 2006, she signed the Charter of Democracy with his longtime political opponent Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to end the dictatorship rule of General Pervez Musharraf and re-establish and promote democracy in Pakistan.
On October 18, 2007, she returned home after eight years, but her march was attacked by a suicide bomber, after which she returned to Dubai. Benazir Bhutto returned home on November 3, 2007 after the state of emergency was declared in Pakistan. She was leading her party in the January 2009 general elections (which were postponed after her tragic killing) and was addressing public rallies in different cities of the country.
The next day she was buried besides her father and brothers in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh in Larkana. After her death, her son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari took over the leadership of PPP and her husband Asif Ali Zardari became the co-chairman of the Peoples' Party. 
Wel Done Sadia … Great work.
