Oppression does not know the meaning of provincial boundaries. Aren't our energies better spent fighting the common enemy instead of each other?
Benazir Bhutto
It is one thing being able to contest an election and to give the people hope that I can be the next prime minister. It is a totally different situation where the people of Pakistan are told that the results are already taken and the leader of your choice is banned.

Benazir Bhutto
The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges.
Benazir Bhutto
As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother.
Benazir Bhutto
The government I led gave ordinary people peace, security, dignity, and opportunity to progress.
Benazir Bhutto
The next decade cannot be a decade of confrontation and contention. It cannot be east vs. West. It cannot be men vs. women. It cannot be Islam vs. Christianity. That is what the enemies of dialogue want.

I am constitutionally competent to contest the elections.
Benazir Bhutto
Every dictator uses religion as a prop to keep himself in power.
