11 Years of Service

A Journey of Trust and Dedication

When Benazir Bhutto appointed Munawar Anjum as her Media Spokesperson in November 1996, she placed in him a trust that would define his life's work. For eleven years, through exile and return, through struggle and hope, he remained her voice to the media and the world.

Her Words Live On

"Democracy is the best revenge."

Benazir Bhutto's most famous quote, embodying her philosophy of peaceful resistance.

"You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea."

On the resilience of democratic ideals.

"The next few months will be the most difficult of my life. As I return to Pakistan, I am fully aware that the assassins are waiting for me."

Before her return to Pakistan in 2007.

December 27, 2007

On this day at Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi, Pakistan lost one of its greatest champions of democracy. But her message lives on: Democracy is the best revenge.

شہید محترمہ بینظیر بھٹو کی یاد میں

"Every day that I continue to serve the party, I carry her vision with me. Every election we monitor, every press release we issue, every worker we organize — it is all in service of the dream she lived and died for: a democratic, progressive, and just Pakistan."

— Ch. Munawar Anjum
