Eight years, but no justice for Benazir

It's been eight years since Pakistan lost one of its most popular leaders to terrorism on December 27. Benazir Bhutto, the former prime minister, was shot dead as she was campaigning for general elections. The probe into her killing was a sham, more of a cover-up that allowed her killers to go scot free. Her party came to power following her assassination, and her husband Asif Ali Zardari became president, yet nothing was done to get to the truth. Political currency was derived by the Pakistan People's Party before it was ousted in the last general election.
To this day, her party is yet to register a case, and the federal probe that was conducted did little for the cause of justice. Even Benazir's critics and political opponents are surprised over the illogical arguments over her murder and the investigation that more of a diversionary tactic. Political parties across the board have demanded an independent inquiry, but nothing has come of their demands.
Her party has led the blame game, but has shied away from an investigation. What did they have to hide? It was claimed that the Taleban, the civil-military establishment or an international conglomerate was behind her murder. The so-called probe by the United Nations was nothing less than a fact-finding mission with a plethora of recommendations, which is now gathering dust.
Had Benazir's murder been probed immediately, Pakistan could have successfully moved against the nexus of terrorism and corruption. It's high time the country honours its fallen democratic leader by unmasking the conspiracy behind her death.
