Sir,
Benazir Bhutoo is up to her old tricks again. In a blatant effort to blackmail the General, she wants the government to act promptly and close a deal with her so that he can continue as president for another term. If there's one thing we know, it's that the two former prime ministers (Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif) will never be able to tackle the militants. They know how to do only one thing; enrich themselves and bleed the nation. The General should not fall into their trap. He should use all available options, including postponing the elections for a year.
