Despise him for his politics, but Chaudhry Pervez Ilahi of the the PML Q always has great one liners and the PML(Q) probably has the best speech writers in the campaign. The other day he said the PPP stood for “Plunder Property, Palaces”. Benazir Bhutto’s fake or real “will” generates more questions than answers.
0) Is the will a fake?
1) Why were Ahtizaz Ahsan or Makhdoom Amin Fahim not chosen as successors? Why was Sherry Rehman not in the running? Why was Babar Awan not considered?
2) The presence of the will displays the dynastic feudal nature of the Bhuttos. A political party is not a dynasty. Those harping for democracy must first bring democratic institutions into their own political parties
3) The will displays a total misunderstanding of the feelings of the people. Designating Mr. Zardari as a successor is the height of absence of political acumen. Benazir was hated by the army. Mr. Zardari is despised by the entire country.
4) Will of person cannot over right will of God. So all questions of property have to be decided under the constitution of Pakistan and the faith of the person. As such the will is useless except for business purposes.
5) It is said the PPP account has more than 125 million Dollars in it.
6) Zardari as PM? Though in double flip-flops he has remained silent, admited it, denied it and then refuted it.
7) In effect the PPP will be led by Mr. Zardari who is a very unpopular figure in Pakistan.
8) When the PPP does not emerge as a popular party, he will blackmail the country by trying the “slash and burn” strategy that he perfected on the death of Benzir Bhutto.
9) Continuation of the policies of Benazir Bhutto means that Mr. Zardari will attempt to hand over A.Q. Khan to the IAEA and hond over Pakistan’s nuclear program to joint British-American control as espoused by Benazir Bhutto.
