BENAZIR VISITS MID-EAST HOSPITAL
KARACHI, Sept 21, 1996: Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto visited the Mid-East
Hospital to have a glimpse of her deceased brother. The Prime Minister
reached the hospital in early hours of the Saturday morning and remained by
the body of her brother for about 45 minutes. The Prime Minister, who was
in deep gloom, kept weeping holding her head in her hands. As a mark of
deep mourning, Bhutto came barefoot to Karachi's Mideast hospital. She sat
beside Murtaza's body for 45 minutes, wailing and later reciting Quran a holy
book of Muslims witnesses said.
Bhutto cried loudly inside the hospital room where the body lay and when
she met Murtaza's widow Ghinwa, the witnesses said. “What has happened?”
Bhutto cried, as she pressed her head between her hands in sorrow and sat
with Ghinwa.
