Islamabad:
Three years after former Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, her youngest daughter says she still feels as if her mother passed away "just yesterday".
Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, who is schooling in Scotland, revealed her feelings in a message on Twitter this morning:
"Dec 27, 2010. It feels like just yesterday was 2007."
Aseefa, who is Pakistan's polio ambassador, was 15 when Benazir was killed by a suicide bomber after addressing an election rally in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
In an earlier tweet, she wrote: "Ya Allah Ya Rasool Benazir Bay Qasoor! (Oh God! Benazir is innocent!)."
She and her elder sister Bakhtawar, who describes herself as a "lyricist, enthusiast, nationalist", miss their mother tremendously and are keeping her memory alive in the virtual world by tweeting about her often.
Benazir's daughters and her son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who is the co-chairman of the ruling Pakistan People's Party, are currently in Pakistan to observe her third death anniversary.
Last month, Aseefa held Benazir's close friend and ex-PPP member Naheed Khan responsible for lack of security on the day her mother died.
"Naheed refused to follow party regulations...she was responsible for lack of security on December 27," Aseefa tweeted on November 30.
Though Bilawal has exited Twitter, his sisters have been passionately defending their father President Asif Ali Zardari and the PPP.
They have had a virtual spat with their famous writer-activist-journalist cousin Fatima Bhutto on several occasions.
Fatima's moves to demonise Zardari and Benazir have been quickly checkmated by the two sisters.
"Pakistan may have lost a talented fiction writer when Fatima Bhutto went into journalism. Clearly, she is adept at spinning a tale, fudging facts and re-defining reality in a manner that is the exclusive domain of talented story tellers," the sisters enthusiastically retweeted a couple of months ago.
