Rally to Save the NRO
Politics makes seemingly strange bedfellows. But alliances are always based on interests.
There are also reports that last week Musharraf called Zardari after meeting with some Sindhi politicians to boost support for the Mr. 100% (Zardari). Musharraf reportedly asked Pir Pagaro to coax Yousuf Raza Gilani, a relative, not to cause Zardari trouble.
It all makes sense: Zardari is certainly following in the footsteps of the Musharraf of 2007, which, I think was the Chinese year of the [dumb] ass. Nawaz Sharif was right today when he said, “It appears as if the spirit of Musharraf has entered Zardari.” This is not a partisan argument. There are quite a few senior PPP figures who believe the same.
Interestingly, Ahmed Raza Kasuri is also on the same page as Musharraf and Zardari. That would certainly make Zulfikar Ali Bhutto happy.
The real danger from Zardari going down is that the PPP is unlikely to rise again. And that would be a major blow to Pakistan’s quest for political stability. The PPP is flawed and internally undemocratic, but it is a national institution and a important pillar for domestic stability.
It seems author is one of those “die-hard” fans of Nawaz Sharif who view there political leaders as GODs and depict themselves as dogs of these political leaders. They idolize them so much that they are not ready to see the facts clearly. A place where emotions rule over reason and logic is never good for democracy.
How illogical that sharif is fighting for judiciary but shamelessly using street power against court decision if its against him. Any judge who decides in his favor becomes independent judge and whoever decides against him is sent home or is ridiculed by his media men bought out by Sharif. Would Sharif have protested the same way if court would have ruled in his favor ?
How illogical that he calls himself “national” leader whereas he did not get ANY seats in sindh and has very minute representation in NWFP and Baluchistan.
How illogical that Sharif is always giving poisonous speeches against army and trying to create rift between civilians and army whereas he was himself hand-picked by notorious dictator Zia ul Haq. The same dictator who gets a huge credit for putting Pakistan in mess that we see today.
How illogical he is never tired of telling about his loyalty to Pakistan but billions of his illegal dollars are stashed or invested in Dubai , UK or Jeddah when country is in dire economic conditions and needs some capital but still shamelessly he talks about his ‘unending’ loyalty to country.
How illogical that he along with Zardari and many other ‘political’ leaders talks about democracy and democratic process but never held elections in there own parties. 90 % of parties in pakistan are not political parties but just family parties where party leadership is never to be disputed and its always inherited. From Benazir it was inherited by Zardari . From Nawaz Sharif it would inherited either by Shahbaz or probably one of there son who would be as oblivious to problems of Pakistan as they are.
Thats not the case only with him , our politicians are only loyal to power and there lust is only for that power, they dont give a damn to country.
Pitty!!
Is there any limit of the hypocrisy?? Well, MQM has crossed all!!
It is the same BB under whose rule hundreds of “Inocent Mohajirs” were killed. Indian agent Altaf Hussain first introduced Pervaiz (ex. general) as there father and now its Mr. 10%, who is using his evil mind and dirty tactics to play “POLITICS”,
