Mr. Zardari united Pakistan’s major political parties and this unprecedented act was accomplished without any violence. Zardari is being targeted by anti-democratic forces for vilification and persecution and bore the hardship with fortitude. The fact is dis he spent eleven and a half years in prison in conditions often unacceptable by human rights standards, without any charge ever being proven against him. He won election as MNA and as senator while in prison. Despite many offers from the government of the time to leave PPP or to go abroad under a negotiated political exit, he remained committed to Party goals and continued his fight for justice and the return of a democratically elected civilian leadership. And wat is dis: Asif Ali Zardari secured 481 votes, Pakistan Muslim League-N candidate Justice (Retd.) Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui secured 153 votes while Mushahid Hussain Sayed fielded by PML-Q bagged 44 votes.

Why did Pakistanis allow Zardari and sharif back in the country is mind-boggling to me. I don't think we will be seeing a good leader in my lifetime and i am only 21.

I do wish Zardari (the murderer) gets what's coming to him. How easily, we, the people of Pakistan were tricked by him. The outcome of last years elections would have tilted towards PML-N had anyone known that Zardari would slip into the presidents chair. Its often left unsaid but he has gained more than he has lost since BBs death. And for someone who spent his entire life in criminal circles, its the perfect crime. Everyone else is just a figurehead placed by the 'West' to fulfil their agenda. Our politicians and govt. officials are corrupted by the 'economic hitman'. Pakistan, like other third world countries, are to be kept in economic slavery and debt. And for that to happen, the West will continue to groom more corrupt politicians. Excellent read!
