News: Bakhtawar sings of pain |
 |
|
  The elder daughter of Pakistan's assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has written a rap song expressing her anguish over her mother's death.
The song, entitled "I Would Take the Pain Away," and a five-minute video of clips and photographs of Benazir Bhutto has been broadcast on the state-run Pakistani television and posted on the video-sharing website YouTube.
"My mother was murdered. I don't even comprehend. Was it worth dying for? I'm walking through screened doors," Bakhtawar, 18, sings in English on the lilting hip-hop song.
"No comfort or ease. I'm begging you please God bless the deceased," Bakhtawar sings. Information Minister Sherry Rehman, for years an aide to Bhutto, said Bakhtawar, a student at Britain's Edinburgh University, wrote the lyrics and music.
"It's a tribute of a grieving daughter to her iconic and loving mother," Rehman told Reuters on Monday.
Music was a hobby for Bakhtawar and she had no plan to pursue it as a career, Rehman said.
Bhutto, 54, was murdered in a suicide gun-and-bomb attack in the city of Rawalpindi in December 2007. The then government, led by former president Pervez Musharraf, blamed the attack on Islamist militants.
Bhutto's widower and Bakhtawar's father, Asif Ali Zardari, become president in September.
Their son, Bilawal, 20, studies at Oxford University in Britain and another daughter, Aseefa, 15, also studies abroad.

 Some call him arrogant and blunt, others call him debonair and devastatingly handsome. Nevertheless, Shaan is the bad boy of Pakistan's film industry. With an attitude that has miffed many, Shaan has always managed to be in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Lately, Shaan has been quite vocal when expressing his views on films released in 2008; take the case of Jawed Sheikh and Mehreen Jabbar's films. For Mehreen's Ramchand Pakistani says he, "Bad! Mehreen needs to actually sit down and figure out what she wants. If the country is like a burning house and if I make a film on flies, where is the relevance? The film should make a statement about the present-day situation highlighting her point of view. Ramchand Pakistani doesn't do that. She should stick to making plays and moreover she is a Jabbar, she doesn't need to work."
