Benazir never talked about any will in her lifetime, says her political secretary

Lahore, June 23 : Naheed Khan, the political secretary to former Pakistan premier Benazir Bhutto, has said that her mentor never discussed any will with her in her lifetime, and that the will presented by Benazir's husband Asif Ali Zardari before the world was "quite astonishing" for her.

She said that Benazir had "good relations" with her husband Zardari.

Naheed admitted of not being so close to Zardari because, she said, Zardari had the right to select his own team as he was the new party head.

Her husband Safdar Abbasi also said he and his wife would support Zardari only at the party level.

About the ongoing controversy over how to resolve the judges' issue, she said that Benazir wanted to restore the deposed judges through a parliament committee and though a constitutional amendment, as proposed by PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, reported the Daily Times.

Khan said that Musharraf's men, including National Security Secretary Tariq Aziz, had tried hard to pressurise Benazir not to return to Pakistan.
