<P> Benazir Bhutto was prime minister at a time of great racial tension in Pakistan . Her approval poll rose by 38% after she appeared and said in a private television interview after the elections: "We are unhappy with the manner in which tampered electoral lists were provided in a majority of constituencies; our voters were turned away ." The Conservatives attracted voters from religious society (MMA) whose support had collapsed . The Friday Times noted "Both of them (Nawaz and Benazir) have done so badly in the past, it will be very difficult for them to do worse now . If Bhutto's government fails, everyone knows there will be no new elections . The army will take over". In confidential official documents Benazir Bhutto had objected to the number of Urdu speaking class in 1993 elections, in context that she had no Urdu - speaking sentiment in her circle and discrimination was continued even in her government . Her stance on these issues was perceived as part of rising public disclosure which Altaf Hussain called "racism". Due to Benazir Bhutto's stubbornness and authoritative actions, her political rivals gave her the nickname "Iron Lady" of Pakistan . No response was issued by Bhutto, but she soon associated with the term . The racial violence in Karachi was reached at peak and became a problem for Benazir Bhutto to counter . The MQM attempted to make an alliance with Benazir Bhutto under her own conditions, but Benazir Bhutto refused . Soon the second operation, Operation Blue Fox, was launched to wipe the MQM from country's political spectrum . The results of this operation remain inconclusive and resulted in thousands killed or gone missing, with the majority being Urdu speaking . Bhutto demanded the MQM to surrender to her government unconditionally . Though the operation was halted in 1995, but amid violence continued and, Shahid Javed Burki, a professor of economics, noted that "Karachi problem was not so much an ethnic problem as it was an economic question ." Amid union and labour strikes beginning to take place in Karachi and Lahore, which were encouraged by both Altaf Hussain and Nawaz Sharif to undermine her authority, Benazir Bhutto responded by disbanding those trade union and issuing orders to arrest the leaders of the trade unions, while on the other hand, she provided incentives to local workers and labourers as she had separated the workers from their union leaders successfully . Benazir Bhutto expanded the authoritative rights of Police Combatant Force and the provisional governments that tackled the local opposition aggressively . Bhutto, through her Internal Security Minister Naseerullah Babar, intensified the internal security operations and steps, gradually putting down the opposition's political rallies, while she did not completely abandon the reconciliation policy . In her own worlds, Benazir Bhutto announced: "There was no basis for (strikes)... in view of the ongoing political process ...". </P> <P> In December 1993, news began to surface in the Swat valley when Sufi Muhammad, a religious cleric, began to mobilise the local militia calling for overthrow of the "un-Islamic rule of (Iron) Lady". Benazir Bhutto responded quickly and ordered the Pakistan Army to crack down on the militia, leading to the movement's being crushed by the Army and the cleric was apprehended before he could escape . </P> <P> During her election campaigns, she had promised to repeal controversial laws (such as Hudood and Zina ordinances) that curtail the rights of women in Pakistan . However, Bhutto was not supported by the leading women's organisations, who argued that after being elected twice, none of the reforms were made, instead controversial laws were exercised more toughly . Therefore, in 1997 elections, Bhutto failed to secure any support from women's organisations and minorities also gave Bhutto the cold - shoulder when she approached them . It was not until 2006 that the Zina ordinance was finally repealed by a Presidential Ordinance issued by Pervez Musharraf in July 2006 . </P> <P> Bhutto was a founding member of the Council of Women World Leaders, a group established in 1996 . She appointed women judges and a women's division in the government, headed by a senior female civil servant . She also oversaw the establishment of a women's bank and all - female police stations . The fundamentalist Islamic laws introduced to restrict women's rights under Zia nevertheless remained in place, and no new legislation was put in place to empower women . </P>
