There was a lot of apprehension when Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan. Even her party loyalists were taken aback and disillusioned by the news of a deal with the establishment.
Little did the nation know that this brave lady had come back to her country to nourish the withering sapling of democracy with her blood. Now the nation is in mourning. But mourning is not enough. If we want to see this shriveled sapling grow into a strong tree we should come out and vote for the right candidate. The greatest tribute to Benazir Bhutto who sacrificed her life for democracy would be to become a part of the democratic process.
