Future of Pakistan Peoples Party after death of Benazir

When PPP started its press conference, almost everybody was sure to what will be the decisions. The enough of speculation was already around about the chairmanship of Bilawal Zardari, though no body knew about the change of surname from Zardari to Bhutto Zardari. Not only this but decision about participation of election was also clear even than, people wanted to hear it from the party cadres about their decision.
With the declaration of Bilawal Zardari, at moment, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, people might have felt the pain but they kept tight lipped. My immediate reaction was a sentence that I wrote in my drafting pad, “You are welcome to the world of un-democratic democracy.”
The election of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to me was just a start of injustice to party’s intelligentsia but what else they would have done, they were in utter shock and if any one, say for instance Mr. Ameen Fahim, would have said even an iota against this, would have been named an infidel and in extreme circumstances, he would have been nominated a covert ally of those who are considered the assassins of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. This risk at the moment was not worth taking so everybody kept silent. In fact it was pinching to see many near comrades of Benazir absent from the fore front on this important event that was potent enough to change the course of party. My eyes kept searching for Nisar Khuhro, Qaim Ali Shah, Naheed Khan, Senator Safdar Abbasi and many others but my efforts were in vain, though cameramen of all the media channels captured their glimpses in their cornered hideouts away from eyes of people, watching the drama unfolding quietly.
The press conference was complete and it went clear too that Mr. Amin Fahim was offered the conditional nomination as the party’s candidate in forth coming elections as Prime Minister, I will not name it a political bribe but will at least consider it an attempt to keep this foreign cuisine palatable for him. Here, Mr. Zardari, I mean Asif Zardari not Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, was sagacious enough to keep it conditional as a check over Mr. Ameen Faheem and I think Amin Faheem will cash this opportunity because he is at such a stage of in his political career where he will accept anything, literally anything for his loyal services to PPP and would love to die content with a feather of being Premier of Pakistan in his cap.
Let’s take a u-turn, let’s have a look at the things that this scribe found positive with them. It felt good when they spoke of
One last thing, I heard Bilawal Bhutto Zardari saying that Democracy is the best revenge, you all must have heard it too. I can understand the grief of this gentleman and if he has tried to pour his heart out in this sentence, his feeling and emotions must be respected. After all, the poor fellow has suffered a shock, the extreme sorrow of losing his mother but I would like to advice him not to consider democracy as revenge when he will practically join politics. If, in case, he ever needs a strong expression in favour of democracy, he must consider restoration and fight for democracy, more a punch, a spit on the faces of dictators then revenge since revenge is a negative emotion after all!

FATIMA AND BILAWAL may lead the PPP if only Bhuttos have to do it.Although real Bhutos are PPP jialas-workers who always sacrify their life more than it’s feudals and drug lords leaders mostly included in central and federal committees/ councils. In 1967, the ppp was founded by talented people from all walks of life-the civil society, but fortunatly or unfortunatly party was headed by a feudal Z.A. Bhutto who was master of selling dreams to poor and oppressed people of the country. Poor and lower middle class played a role of worker for the party and organised it all over the country to grass root level. Later on all situation changed in 1977 when oppresser of the society, feudals were given way in the party and workers were ignored. Later on Z.A.Bhutto had paid a big price of his love for poors and was hanged by a general on instruction from other super powers. His young daughter replaced her gradually because of her talents of selling dreams like his father. She could not do any thing for oppressed people due to control democracy but his colleagues made hell of money and influence while in power. After military take over 1n 1999, she left for abroad and had learned lot of realities of the life and was anxious to do some thing for oppressed class of the country. But bad luck to poor people , she was assasinated mysteriously and lost her life. Now democratically PPP should have elected it’s leader and Iatazaz Ahsan, Shah Mehmud Qureshi, Yusaf Raza Gilani , Makhdoum Amin Fahim and Aftab Sherpao could have been very promising candidates to compete but there is no democracy no where in Pakistan so nomination brought Bilawal but it would have been much better to bring an other Bhutto, Fatima- a talented chrismatic in the fold to keep workers and oppressed people unite. This could have been done by Asif Zardari showing his GREATNESS and wiseness to nominate these two young Bhuttos in waiting list of leadership but unfortunatly Zardari did what a loving father should do- so nothing to discuss, let him deal with leadership of PPP and workers will be keep chanting jive jive Bhutto jive for decades to come.
