NO POLLS IN BENAZIR'S CONSTITUENCY

Pakistan's Election Commission on Friday cancelled the polls in the constituency in southern Sindh province from which slain former- premier Benazir Bhutto was seeking to enter the lower house of Parliament.

"The election process was terminated in National Assembly 207 Larkana-cum-Shikarpur in Sindh due to the death of the leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto," the Commission said in a statement.

No fresh date was announced for polls in that constituency.

"As such, fresh proceedings will commence after this election schedule for the said constituencies is announced by the Election Commission, in due course of time and in due process of law," the statement said.

Bhutto was assassinated in Rawalpindi after addressing an election meeting on December 27 by somebody that was still a blurred one. In the aftermath of violent protests against her killing, the Election Commission postponed the parliamentary polls from Jan 8 to February 18.

Election Commission Secretary Kanwar Dilshad said the remaining candidates would not be required to file fresh nomination papers but fresh candidates would be given a chance to file papers.

Polls were also cancelled in a constituency of the assembly of the North West Frontier Province due to killing of a candidate in bomb attack.

Miangul Asfandyar Amir Zeb, a candidate who backed President Pervez Musharraf , was killed with eight others when his car was targeted with a remote controlled bomb in the troubled Swat valley last week in pakistan.

TAJ MAHAL - SOME SECRETS BEHIND IT


Hi friends i went to the great Taj Mahal --the symbol of love ,few days before. I want to share with you some cool news about it. The Taj mahal was built by the emporer Shah jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaj. The Taj mahal was named Mumtaj palace earlier and then called as the "Taj mahal".
The king Shahjahan earlier decided to build two Taj mahals ,one with white marble and the other one with black marble on both sides of the river Jamuna and also want to bulid a bridge made of gold to connect the two mahals. But after finishing the White Taj mahal (one among the seven wonders of the world) he was arrested by his son Aurangezeeb and so he failed to fulfill his dream. He bought Gold for 4600 crores at that time to paint some designs inside Tajmahal. (At that time one gram of gold costs less than a rupee). This is amazing right? If he could built the black Taj mahal ,then it will be the best wonder all over the world
