Musharraf resignation avenges Bhutto's death: son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari

KARACHI, Aug 18 (AFP): The son of slain former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto on Monday hailed the resignation of Pervez Musharraf, saying the next president would be from Bhutto's party.

“After the martyrdom of my mother I said that democracy was the best revenge -- and today it was proved true,” said 19-year-old Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Chairman of Pakistan People's Party.

“Someone from the Pakistan People's Party would be the next president of Pakistan but I don't know who that would be,” he told a local television at Karachi airport after flying in from Dubai.
