It's a saying in Urdu that "Small trees can never grow beneath the bigger ones".

But here proving everybody wrong (again) Benazir Bhutto, shared the same legacy as her father, her critics always claimed that she carries her father's vote bank and she is a "Security Risk" to Pakistan.

I was never an admirer of Bhutto family, I thought they are just rich people who plays the game of politics over the poor people's shoulder and I am happy that I was wrong this time about Benazir Bhutto at least. She gave her life while fighting alone with the terrorism and extremism for the poor people of Pakistan, she came back to the country knowingly that her life is in danger and she came for the poor people with the slogan of "Roti kapra aor makan" (Food, Clothing and Shelter).

She was a hope for country fellows, she was the one who made people felt that they are the part of Pakistan's politics, when APDM (All Parties Democratic Moment) decided to boycott the elections she was the one who had the courage to take an unpopular but a right decision and she repeated her fathers legacy who always said that "He believed contesting elections, despite the barriers to fair elections, was better than boycotts. "

Today I am so sad not only because she has left us but now the Federalist are being led by the people who doesn't know what a federation is all about, people who run their politics on the basis of language, religion and casts, Benazir Bhutto was above than these false slogans. She was the best supporter of the federation and she was the symbol of unity in the country, her being the prime minister always stated that in our country people from small provinces can also take an active part in our country's fate.

She was a women of great courage, she lost her father to the capital punishment in a military dictatorship, her brother was killed in her own government, and her husband in jail for years but she never compromised and never surrender to the establishment. She came with the agenda against terrorism and extremism knowing that this could cost her life, but she did it, Proving the chief minister of sindh Dr. Ghulam Arbab Rahim wrong who stated that "A woman's rule is a "curse" on a nation and should be avoided.", (An apology owed Dr. Arbab?)

Her rule wasn't a curse but her assassination might be, (God forbid)
 
I will soon place a comparison of her with her father in detail, I believe that she was even better than what the legendary Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto thought his Pinky can be.
