If you talk to people from Right-wing parties in Pakistan about Benazir
Bhutto, Pakistan's first female Prime Minister, chances are they'll have plenty
of stories to tell. Most of these stories will be unflattering — centering on
her ‘sex life’ from her time at Oxford or on the ‘half-a-dozen men she's had
affairs with’. All Bhutto had done to attract this sort of slander was to challenge
Islamist military dictator Zia ul-Haq. And as it is with such smear campaigns,
there’s little proof or even a loose link to support the claims.
Indeed women in Pakistan are vulnerable to similar kind of threats and
slandering as Gurmehar Kaur witnessed recently in India.
