The Pakistani Spectator

After the ghastly assassination of two-time Prime Minister of Pakistan and the for life chairperson of Pakistan People’s Party, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi on 27th December last year, Asif Ali Zardari became the accidental chairman of the party.

Though the cousin of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Mumtaz Bhutto was of the belief that Asif Zardari captured the PPP throne by deceit, and his relations with Benazir were cut off for some time, and Benazir never wanted him near the party and that is why she kept him out of the affairs of the party and didn’t even give him a ticket from any constituency and also didn’t bring him with her after the self-imposed exile.

Benazir Bhutto has many black spots on her but she was  a natural and professional politician who knew the pulse of the people and who had got the guts to act in accordance with the people’s whims and to cajole with the establishment.

She must be turning in her grave as Asif Ali Zardari pushes her party to the brink of disaster so immaculately and with so much speed. Asif Zardari is not understanding the demands of the leadership. He doesn’t have a clue as how to act according to the wishes of people and he is trying to become a pope instead of a leader. Zardari is taking so much baggage and it’s hard for him to deceive his NRO masters, and he is finding it easy to deceive the people who voted him in to this position of esteem.
