American blogger Cynthia Dawn Ritchie who sparked a controversy by tweeting about Benazir Bhutto’s ‘libertine sex life’ has made another shocking revelation. She said she was raped by Pakistan’s former Interior Minister Rehman Malik and assaulted by other men in the highest echelons of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
In a live Facebook session, Cynthia claimed that she was “raped by the Interior Minister Rehman Malik” in 2011 when the PPP was in power and she further claimed that she was “physically manhandled by former Health Minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani while he was staying at the President’s House”.
According to Cynthia, the reason why PPP is going after her is not the tweet that she shared but rather the dirt she has against the top leadership of the party. These are grave and serious charges that she has levelled against those in authority, albeit in a previous political dispensation. It is clear her outburst is part of a calibrated plan as she is being used by the current regime as a stalking horse to belittle the PPP.
Earlier she tweeted: “ZardarisFilthyPPP keeps threatening me. Why? Because they know that over the years I have been raped/assaulted by men in the highest ranks of PPP. They don’t want the world to know. I have decided to go live on Facebook in approximately 30 minutes & continue to tell my story.”
