Bilawal Zardari, the new PPP Chairman

It is just being announced that Bilawal Zardari, the 19 year old eldest son of Benazir Bhutto, will be the new Chairman of PPP. Personally I feel this might in effect be a good decision for the Bhutto dynasty but a major rift within the party would definitely be seen in short order, as Amin Faheem definitely had his eyes set on the top leadership. It may suit the American agenda perfectly as it would be easier to negotiate with Bilawal as compared to rehashing the entire negotiations with a new face in the PPP. More updates to follow as news comes in

    As to recent news tommorow Shaheed Bhutto’s will would be read and party central commettee will decide the future policy. But it would be a wise decision to give the top slot to Bilawal or Fatemah, they are young and can communicate with their age group in much better way. I dont think Makhdum’s will not accept but the Chrisma of Bhutto’s is that whoever left PPP was multiplied by zero, Makhdum Amin is a sincere and wise person and we hope he will stand with Bhutto’s…….they deserve it, no one gave so much blood for this country what Bhutto’s did.

    Alas………BB visited Gahri Khuda Bakhsh just few days back and choose her burial place.

    O God Mr. Ten percent has raised his commission to 100 percent. PPP top cadre is being manipulated by Zardari who was the reason for her downfall twice.
    Dynasty belongs to Bhutto and can not be hijacked by corrupt Zardaries my impression is this matter if correct will be a laughing stock very soon before being withdrawn

    Dear Teeth, I am not able to find any such news around. In fact tomorrow is going the high level party meeting in Larkana re-issues like that. I talked to one of my source there who confirmed that there is no such decision as yet and this source is very credible. Will you please re-check it with your source. In fact geo news was talking about the nomination of Sanam Bhutto as chairperson and Asif Zardari or Ameen Faheem as the acting president.

    PPP has assured that the this is a rumor and not true at all. Bilawal is not the head, not yet…

    btw, even if he becomes the head afterwards, i think that would be the death of PPP, a 19 year old kid from Dubai’s richest schools heading a party whose manifesto he can simply not relate to…

    I think if this is true it is a bold move by the PPP. After all he is young and inexperienced but so was BB when she first started out.

    19 year old “KID” ? I am sure he will do better job than most of our elders.

    yes PPP is a family heirloom to be passed to the first born!

    this is a perfect illustration of the political dilemma (and vacuum) in pakistan – the lack of leadership – at any level!

    If true, this is shameful and absolutely embarrassing! This is not a democratic political party but a family jageer. I was just beginning to sympathize with the PPP. Why they went with a kid who has just finished high school when there are men of the caliber of Aitzaz Ahsan in the party is beyond me. Everyone knows Aitzaz Ahsan – the man is a hero. If not Aitzaz, go with Makhdoom Amin Faheem. There’s got to be more senior leadership if this is supposed to be Pakistan’s biggest and most organized party.

    If the leadership is simply placed at the feet of another Bhutto descendant that would be shameful and embarrassing!

    Benazir in two interviews, one in 1994 and the other given last year, had expressed her desire that her children should never go into politics and should rather choose different career paths.

    In 1994 she said, “I would like to see my son become a lawyer, she replied. “And Id like my daughter to be a social worker. Last year she said, “Even though I come from a political family with a strong sense of duty to my country I would strongly advise them to stay away from politics, to serve the country in other ways, she was quoted as saying. “As a doctor, a social worker, anything.

    last years interview : http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071228/india_nm/india311433_4

    Meanwhile Zardari aka Mr. 10 percent, has been the one who has wanted his children to enter politics which he said so in 2004.

    On the one hand PPP says it’s the party of people specially of poor people and on the other hand they wanna keep the leader in Bhutto family. funny!!
    Hey there are other workers of PPP who have really worked hard for the party. 19 years old kid knows nothing and may be by nature he mightn’t have a sense of politics. A leader should be the one who raised in Pakistan and who has really seen the problems of Pakistan.
    I really had hard time to believe in the will of Benzir. She was foolishly firmed that nobody will kill her. Everything is manipulated by Zardari to get his 10% again. He has harmed PPP at this time. It was a golden chance for PPP to change the future of Pakistan cause every single person had the sympathy with the party on the death of Benazir.

    what's wrong wi

    What is wrong with everyone? Talk about not learning from experience. What kind of head-in-ground ostriches are thinking that Bilawal is the answer to all our problems? What about legit institutions? what about use of logic over emotion? Bilawal is just a 19 year old kid living his life who was brought up the feudal way (i.e. Pakistan, dear Bilawal, is your personal fiefdom to do with as you like).

    What is wrong with all the nitwits who keep expressing hope with Bilawal and saying all kind of nutty things?

    Anyone who professes hope in Bilawal or any of these political alternatives just wants te be knocked down again and again and again and again….what a bunch of retards.

    Did anyone here paid commission to Zardari or lets be little more open and tell a story if someone who you know paid him?

    If not so, then all of us know that how our ISI manipulates the image of politicians and how much funds are allocated to buy so called writers.

    Yes, its not a secret that Zardari was a spolied kid, a typical (he is not a fudal) Sindhi villeger where even not a fudal, but young guys behave or copy fudals.

    Corruption in politics can never be denied and you can not survive in politics unless you “help” some of your supporters.

    Why, because our political institution are killed by our brave generals every 2-5 years, some people get in with army backing and lots of money and buy everything, at some stage you get involved.

    I feel that Zardari was a victim of money politics and Army propaganda although I dont consider him as a clean guy, but in present situation name one person in politics who is clean?

    If our institutions like LEFT, RIGHT, Fudals, Fundamentals are killed every second year and country is conqured by a general then this is what you got to began with.

    Time will refine and give new leadership if process continue.

    Other alternate is another dictator and then another…

    CHoice is ours and we dont have many choices!
