pulling down late Ashique Jatoi from his vehicle, while he was still alive and
nothing has been done by the investigating team or the police department of
the Sindh government to investigate the conduct of Shaqeeb Quershi on the
night of Sept 20.
5: That inspite of the lapse of two months, the murderers of Mir Murtaza
Bhutto and his companions have not been traced and in some cases the
individuals who were remanded to the police custody for interrogation have
completed or completing their 14 days remand period without any
revelation, being made public. The remand which should have yielded result
to uncover the conspiracy has been completely wasted.
6: That the PPP (SB) had approached the Caretaker Sindh Chief Minister and
the Prime Minister and informed them about their dissatisfaction over the
poor manner in which the investigation were being carried out and they both
had assumed that they would use their powers to transfer the investigation
from the Sindh police to FIA, but so far no steps have been taken to fulfil their
promise.
The PPP (SB) central body condemned the non-serious attitude of the
caretaker administration for failing to identify the culprits involved in the
murder of Mir Murtaza Bhutto and his colleagues and urged the President,
the Prime Minister and the Sindh chief minister that the present investigation
of the case be transferred from the Sindh police to FIA and DG Khawar
Zaman be directed to personally supervise the investigation, and all the
accused should be interrogated by a high-powered investigation team
consisting of every senior police officers drawn from all the provinces, MI
and FIU.
The resolution further says: one of the points of the charge sheet against the
Benazir government's dismissal, as read out by the President, was the
involvement of the government functionaries in the assassination of Mir
Murtaza Bhutto. By saying this President and the caretaker administration
accepted the responsibility of unearthing the conspiracy and bringing the real
perpetrators of the crime to book but the casual and neglectful handling of
the case till now the PPP (SB) is convinced that the President meant only to
exploit Mir Murtaza's murder for his political ends. The ousted prime
minister has been accusing the President of having engineered the murder.
We want to caution the President that if his administration fails to bring the
real culprits to the book she will succeed in diverting the blame of the murder
