WASHINGTON, May 25 (AFP) - Former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto said here Tuesday her country's current rulers want "to impose a theocratic state" in a "relentless assault on democracy." "The West cannot remain indifferent to the resurgence of fascism in South Asia. Can it be comfortable with a dictator running a nuclear Pakistan?" Bhutto said here at a conference devoted to Woodrow Wilson. "Pakistan is more isolated than ever in the international community," she said. She also accused Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of having had her husband kidnapped from his hospital bed and dragging in security forces who kept him for days without sleep, food or water. When he refused to answer the police's questions, Bhutto said his throat was cut, his tongue was slashed and he was left bleeding for hours. Her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, has been in jail since the dismissal of Bhutto's government in November, 1996 under a presidential decree. Bhutto said he is alive because Pakistani authorities allowed him to be hospitalized after the West expressed concern. Zardari and Bhutto were both convicted for graft on April 15 and sentenced to five years imprisonment. The court found them guilty of receiving millions of dollars in kickbacks from a Swiss firm in return for a 1994 trade cargo inspection contract. "The charges against me are concocted," Bhutto said, saying this was "not a case of corruption, but a unilateral assault on democracy itself." She called the entire process a "judicial nightmare," saying she was not allowed to defend herself against the charges. Bhutto said she will "continue to do what the people of Pakistan want me to do. My purpose is not power. It is to serve the people of Pakistan." "I am not broken. Each indignity has made me more resolute," Bhutto said.
