Bilawal’s sister Aseefa Bhutto Zardari also shared the pictures on her Twitter, and the photographs mention a short poem seeking justice for Benazir.
In December 2007, Former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto Benazir was killed in a gun-grenade attack during an election rally in Rawalpindi.

Nawab Akbar Bugti, the former junior interior minister and Governor of Balochistan including two dozen of his tribesmen were killed after a military operation was launched on the orders of Musharraf in 2006. The operation triggered unrest in the area and a surge in the Baloch nationalist sentiment in the troubled province.
In March 2013, Musharraf came back to Pakistan after living in self-exile for almost five years to contest polls. The President was pulled to court in several cases including the 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the murder of Nawab Akbar Bugti.
