I had saved this image of Benazir Bhutto from web after her assassination as a memento of her legacy. It quotes words from her speech delivered at Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi. She was confident about sovereignty of Pakistan in Peoples parties rule. Terror and extremists are a severe concern for the present PPP Government. Perhaps she would have never thought in her wildest dreams that once her husband could be the President of the state of which she was the former prime minister.
She said, “The country had to suffer whenever a dictator took over”�. We had suffered under dictator’s democracy and we are suffering under democratic dictator ship.

@ Hamid Sir
I forget to mention your name in above post of mine that I do agree with you that Zardari can never be close to what vision late BB carried, he has got a post, but its hard to see if he has a future after this.
@ all
If its upto yoo, soon we will be importing politicians from Kazakhistan,,,
no one is perfect, but they say
“give the devil its due”
Find who is appropriate at that time,,personally being a journalist, i need to be neutral,,and in that case the options are still here
@ Shakir Sir
Agreed
Not only Zardari, even Nawaz Sharif is a dictator within his party (and he too was an autocrat when he was prime minister). None of our political parties (except, strangely enough, the Jamaat-e-Islami) has ever held elections to determine who will be its leader. Unfortunately most Pakistanis (and most Indians too) respect only those who are dictatorial by nature.
@hina
in simple terms, zardari can never be close to what vision late BB carried, he has got a post, but its hard to see if he has a future after this,
@ all
Every one is entitled to his or her own opinion. She said, “The country had to suffer whenever a dictator took over”.
• Are we not suffering today?
• Or if this suffering is because of Musharraf, it should be ended when a democratically elected government came into existence?
Every one knows how Mr. Zardari made it possible to be in the President house. The unfortunate assassination of Benazir has been cashed by him at every platform.
• He is unable to find still who is behind his wife’s assassination?
• The word democratically elected has a meaning when the elections were carried in absence of independent judicial system?
• Where is Nahed Khan, Safdar Abbassi and Sherry Rehman who were very close to BB but they are not in good books of Zardari?
• Is this the party wants?
@all
would some one tell me from which consituency or direct voting Mr Zardari made it to the president house?
I disagree with the comparision of BB’s prediction and Zardari, but on the second part, i have no doubts that he wants to be absolute, every where
I think Sarfraz said it all. Twisting his dead wife’s words around and using them against him won’t make him a dictator. He was democratically elected into this presidency by citizens like yourself and me, and deserves from us the level of respect one reserves for one’s president. We would do well as a nation to remember that.
Dear,
The threat that we are facing today is not the making of PPP, this is the product of the period when the democratic course was interrupted. Shaheed BB was right that ‘Nobody could dare to think of breaking the country or doing terror and extremist acts when the People’s party was in power. The country had to suffer whenever a dictator took over.’
Shaheed BB sacrificed her life for the democracy in this country which is the only cure for the ills of the country and the problems that we are facing today.
President Zardari, after the unfortunate assassination of Shaheed Bhutto, was chosen by the party to take care of the party in accordance with the will of Shaheed Bhutto.
President Zardari is NOT a dictator by any definition of the word. He is democratically elected president of the country and we must learn to respect his mandate.
