Marionette Prime Minister
By Ghazala Khan • Jan 18th, 2008 • Category: Politics • One Response •Former Prime Puppet Mr. Shaukat Aziz, who resolved to both reduce our addiction to flour and to electricity, had to skulk around with the PML-Quisling lotas, begging for more time in the office. In this effort to inject more austerity into the “lavish” Pakistani people, he played with hoarders and smugglers inside the garish godowns and mills of Punjab and Sindh.
Like every accomplished top-office occupier, Shaukat Aziz ought to write a book, and the natural title of that book must be ‘Bumper Crop’. I, for the life of me, cannot forget his smirking and brandishing of the bumper crop last year. He did it with so much conviction, one thought that he himself harvested millions of acres of wheat.
We may as well stop holding Short Cut Aziz responsible for his actions, which primarily resulted in the scarcity of everything in the country. He’s proven over and over again that he’s simply not a fully-formed thingy, certainly not a man, who is capable of understanding that not everybody can eat at McDonald’s. He’s some sort of wretched savant, whose genius lies solely in acting like a marionette.

It seems you enjoy making fun of Shaukat Aziz. In spite of some of the mistakes he made (such as overestimating wheat production and allowing exports), he was one of the best prime ministers we have had. A real technocrat on matters of economy and finance. Thanks to his leadership, we have had six straight years of GDP growth, a growing middle class with rising incomes and many investors still bullish on Pakistan. I think you ought to reconsider your stance re Mr. Aziz. He was no puppet. He served his country well in areas he knew best and got a free hand from Musharraf to do so. He was obviously no politician and couldn’t have been elected as PM on his own in Pakistan’s corrupt political system.
