    This kind of leaders come once in a generation. And the the gift we return to them is obvious.

    He had his problems. However, that is not the point. How many leaders in Pakistan have given the people of Pakistan the wisdom that they are “something” that they can control their own destiny, that they are wise, that all they need to do is work hard day and night. And that they can reach for the stars.

    This was Bhutto. And then there is a shameless man, who goes abroad and tells the world that Pakistanis are ignorant (unpar and jahil), they are not ready for democracy. This man takes a charge sheet against Honorable Chief Justice of Pakistan and presents it to his western overlords. He puts the Pakistani nation to shame by all his actions.

    May Allah save us from such lowly souls.

    ZINDA HAY BHUTTO

    I was a student of Punjab University when Bhutto was hanged. I cannot forget or forgive the dirty role played by Jamaat Islami to crush Movement for Democracy. Goondas of Jamaat used to beat PPP workers along side police and also handover PPP workers to Police after caprturing them. I saw Jamiat students stoping people to save a PPP worker who slf imolated in protest @ Lahori Gate. Jamiat goondas used batons to beat all those who tried to throw water or sand on him. What a shameless supporters of Dictatorship.

    @mbokhari,
    Jahangir Badar not = Wasi Zafar
    Probably you don’t know this man. He belonged to an average family and started his political career as student leader at Punjab University. He braved lashes from a military court and stayed loyal to PPP thru thick and thin. He is well educated person and highly committed to Bhutto’s ideology. An accent of inner Lahore does not make a person Wasi Zafar.

    Interesting coincidence:

    We have dictators commit violation of article 6 a year or two before a confrontation in Afghanistan. Last time it was Zana mardood. And this time it is moshe.

    Last time we know, for sure, the Americans were involved in both luring the russians in for the eventual kill, and also involved in the coup d’etat against Bhutto.

    I find it surreal that scumbags like Chishty still walk the earth, but Bhuttos are all dead and gone.

    What. in . the hell. is wrong with us as a nation?

    I don’t believe that Bhutto practically could have orchestrated the creation of Bangladesh in such a short span of time. The real reason was the bloody GHQ. Had they not committed the crimes in Bangladesh then the Bengali’s would not have turned against us.

    JI surely had a very disgusting role in the murder of Bhutto and many PPPP followers. My family witnessed a slaughter of almost a whole family including a little baby. JI are nothing else but a bunch of munafiqeen:-(

    ZAB was a transformational leader and was gifted with the ability to see things beyond immediate concerns. He was human being with shortcomings but more perfect than many hypocrite religious leaders of his time.

    @Saqib

    I have read your posts to assume that you support IK and PTI. So my brotherly advice, ask IK to distance himself from Qazi hussain and JI. I reckon after what was done to IK in UET lahore, he already has started distancing himself, but still PTI has clear shodow of JI. He can be more close to PMLN or PPP depending on his idealogy.

    JI and JUI has always been and I believe still is the B-team of Pak Military, which are enemy of Pakistan. I remember in my college times, the religious parties inciting Sectarianism and accusing each other as kafirs in previously peaceful towns. Some of them were openly advocating whoever is kafir must be slaughtered on sight. These religious parties not only has divided cities, villages and towns but also Families.

    @Fahim23

    If you have been reading my posts then you will realise that I am in line with your views. I don’t trust these Mullahs - nor Qazi, Fazool or anybody else. They are just waiting to back stab our heroes at a critical moment. Jamiat did it to IK recently….That was nothing compared to what they did to ZAB. They are criminals! Above all how can trust a party which was against the creation of Pakistan, but yet they invade the land of the sacred. They should have stayed with their Hindu brothers. We don’t need these hypocrites. Maudoodi ensured that a huge number of votes went to the wrong side at the partition….The incidents are countless the culprits the same munafiqeen….Why are these people so greedy?

    Yes I am a supporter of PTI/IK for certain issues and not because IK is a celebrity or perfect. I have never been hesitant to show my admire for politicians from other parties as PPPP and PML-N and nor have stayed back to critisize politicians who -in my view- are corrupting our society. My interest is to support issue based principles and not stubbornly support a certain party.

    it is said that, the people of pakistan are very geneous and educated.. though only polititions say that in their debats on tv ect. i know they criticize the people saying them geneous and educated. but i bieng a pakistani disagree with this. according to me, pakistani people are the moste JAHIL and mindless people , even if i say them consiousless, it will be propriate . the reason for that is,, ppp and pmln both had been scrutinized and checked well two times, both were in government two times but none of these stupid leader did anything good. for the third time there was no point to trust on these leaders. like zardari and nawaz shareef.

    when people are tired of polititions , they call and wish the army to take over to get them redeem of polititions. but this time, the army and musharraf almost killd the humanity and rights. all rights were reserved just for musharraf and QAAF league. so this time people tried to get redeem of mushraaf but the took sport of these stupid and heatless ppp and pmln. they should not have taken the sport of of these ppp and pmln, because in this case they are free of musharraf somehow, but they given their rights again to a such parties who already spoiled their rights and even now playing with thier feeling as they want.

    before the eclecions, leadres came to eveybody,s doar to beg for the vots. when they are selected, now their mods, thier thinkings, promises and way of talk has changed like alwyas, they donot look firm and steady, some of them say, we know what to do, nobody is allowed to teach us about what we have to do and how we have to do, look,, this is thier language and mode after taking power.. if they behaver llike this, so musharrf,s govt was good, even if they used to kill the humanity and peopl evey morning and evening, but on the other end they used to said also,, yes we kill our public, yes attack on jam-e-hifza was a good action, yes dismissal of judges was good action,, what they did, they told the nation , but this ppp and pmln said something else and now are doing other things like always, their nature is the same and will never change,,

    finely i want to say that this time the people are able to grab and snatch thier rights from these stupid polititions, if ppp and pmln do andythig against their promises of saying, soon nobody will even know the name of ppp and pmln, maybe some thired power will come true and these lairs will reach at thier real spot of end. muhamma usman spain

    @tperacha: JI was (and is) America’s handmaiden. As @econfused mentioned JI and its war criminal thugs supported the army in its heinous crimes against the Bangla Muslims.

    JI was the driving force behind the murders and mayhem in the PNA revolt against (he should have been very careful in holding the elections no doubt). Like @Saqib and many other pakistanis I was witness to the after effects of the terror unleashed by the JI murderers.

    I have heard stories in which they attacked houses partition-fasad style.. except this time they had chain-saws to cut down people’s wooden doors.. (ever wonder where JI got american made chainsaws ??)

    Now JI is against America because America, having used JI and other Islamists like a used condom, is ready to flush them down the toilet of History. Gone are the days when Jam’aat nazims used to sit around in their little “islamic” gatherings and boast about their ‘cleverness’. They used to say we’ll defeat the soviets with the US help and then defeat the US. They introduced and equated Islam with being a tool of the foreign powers.

    Now these USED COND*OMS want dignity and respect. After all the murder and mayhem they unleashed upon their Muslim brothers in the service of America. Ignorance is not a defence in this world, and it sure as sh!t ain’t a defence in the next one.

    Found an interesting link on Razakars (they don’t think too highly of Bhutto either) :

    ” The Razakars…..should be specially helpful as members of rural communities, who can identify guerrillas (freedom fighters)”, an army officer (Pakistan) said…The government says it has already recruited more than 22,000 Razakars of a planned force of 35,000.’-New York Times, July 30, 1971

    To help control of Bengali population, the army has been setting up a network of peace committees superimposed upon the normal civil administration, which the army cannot fully rely upon. Peace committee members are drawn from …..Beharis and from the Muslim Leagues and Jamat-e-Islami. The peace committees serve as the agent of army, informing on civil administration as well as on general populace. They are also in charge of confiscating and redistribution of shops and lands from Hindu and pro-independence Bengalis. The peace committee also recruits Razakars……many of them are common criminals who have thrown their lots with the (Pakistan) army.-The Wall Street Jornal, July 27,1971.

    I think, perhaps you remember, Fazlul Kader Chowdhiury …an honorable person, Sabur Khan, Monayem Khan, Maulabhi Farid Khan of Technaf…. all of them were pro-’Pakistan. They used to see me. All of them”. - Niazi “The Betrayal of East Pakistan”

    No doubt hes an undisputed leader. During his time (bfr or after he was hanged) he started a new era of politics… the ideological and liberal rule no matter how authoritarian it was, it was certainly a giant leap. I dont know if many readers know this but according to some analysts he had wanted to propose the Gwadar project to be handled by the Americans and that was in 70s. Definately a vision there!

This type of people should learn how to respect human being without there social status. Anyway! Allah give them this wisdom.

    No doubt with all his weaknesses still Z A Bhutto was larger than life political leader of Pakistan and his contribution is great. That is the reason his enemy Gen. Zia considered the wirst evil of all time of Pakistan history.

    Thanks Admin for uploading the video.

    I have always considered Nawaz sharif’s decision to go to Saudia wrong but Now after listening to the story of humilation suffered by Bhutto from Army, I feel Nawaz did the right thing. What kind of country are we where public office bearers suffer humilating treatment from government employees. On 10th september when commandos demported former PM Nawaz shariff, Rauf Klastra reported that they were laughing at helplessness of Nawaz. A more severe thing is reported in video. I wonder how an army officer abuse a popular leader like Bhutto. Shamefull act. I hope some day we do same with dictators too.

    Musharaf must suffer same humilation in Jail.

    Mr Khan, I agree with your comments about politicians, and how both major parties have added to the mess. But he analysis must nt stop here.

    Remember that these ‘leaders’ are the product of same country … they were bribed, manipulated , harrassed , tortured and sometimes murdered by the ‘Establishment’ . Blame both at the least .
    Secondly please dont call the people supid and idiot. Not only that it is generalization at massive scale but also you begin to sound much like Musharraf (who also considered our people ‘Jaahil’ … look what Same jaahil people did to his party. Give them atleast that much credit ……….

    Lack of visionary and honest political leadership is our biggerproblem .. not people.

    we cant expect anything good from a bunch of feudals, dacoits and fake peers gathered in the form of ppp…

    they are time tested failed people who looted that country “without any mercy and transferred that money to foriegn accounts

    ppp marketed benezir murder in a good way and got sympathy vote by emotionally blackmailing people..i am sure that its last time people have been blackmailed by ppp…

    no one need to do anything..zardari, ahmed mukhtar, farooq naik, rehman malik etc. will soon expose themselves and in this era of free media ..corruption and bad governece cannot be hidden for long time..its not the pakistan of 70s or 80s…people have challenged a mighty military dictator the shameless mush and as ppp is continuing his policies and is bowing in the majesty of their master US..i can predict ppp s future will be same as that of q league and mush.. unless they bring one more “azeem shaheed”

    anyone who will go against desires of people and will work on foriegn agenda and looting of money will become part of history..its 2008 not 1972

    In 1970, the PPP attracted 42 per cent of the votes polled in Punjab. A total of eight elections — spread over a thirty-seven year time span — PPP’s vote bank in Punjab has been shrinking. In 1988, the PPP got 40 per cent of the Punjab vote, 39 per cent in 1990 and 1993, 22 per cent in 1997, 27 per cent in 2002 and 29 per cent in 2008.

    In 1970, the PML attracted a mere 23 per cent of the votes polled in Punjab. In 1988, the PML got 38 per cent of the Punjab vote, 49 per cent in 1990, 45 per cent in 1993, 59 per cent in 1997 and 52 per cent in 2002. In 2008, the combined PML-N-PML-Q vote stood at 69 per cent.

    According to a 2008 exit poll by Gallup Pakistan, 43 per cent of the PPP voters are “illiterate” while only 26 per cent of the PML voters are “illiterate”. Furthermore, a mere 5 per cent of the PPP voters are “college-educated” while the PML’s “college-educated” voters are twice that many

    its just an issue of its technical definition

    For example, if a party is able to win 172 seats out of 342 seats, then it would be declared as Majority party, and if it has less than 172 but it has more seats than any other party, then it will be the Single Largest party yet not a majority party.

    As far election results are concerned, term of being a ”Majority Party” is NOT a relative term.

    I think all parties need to be internally democratic. Then we won’t have these debates as to whether or not an “ascension” was kosher or not.

    This is not an excuse for PPP, this is a serious shortcoming of ALL of Pakistani political parties.. this is the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about.. the Achilles’ heel that bites every party in the nutsack every few years because our enemies know that our party leaders are too insecure to have real democracy within their ranks and are too stupid to realize that they risk the whole thing by not having a proper succession and grooming policy (and no I don’t mean grooming your kid. — grooming people based on work and merit)

    I really hope PTI starts doing this, IT is sad that only fascist parties have this internal democracy and it shows, they are able to weild a lot more power simply because they cannot be put into crises by a simple assasination while all other parites are hostage to a potential assassination.

    About Sahaba they were directly being addressed by Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) after every revelation. And that was the knowledge transfered to them. They have the honor being the students of Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) that they don’t have read by themselves The Quran.

    @Awais: I’m not trying to have a pi$$ing match with you, so take a DEEP BREATH and relax!

    I do have a question about your last statement. What exactly is stopping the parties from being internally democratic? aside from greed and the medieval attitudes that our “leaders” tend to harbor? Don’t tell me our parties are facing bigger opposition from our agencies than Hamas, IRA/Sinn Fein, ANC, Indian Congress Party (pre partition) etc face from their respective foes from the secret services.

    All of those parties maintained internal democratic structures despite having to deal with secret services, agencies, assassinations and other repressive measures much worse than what our Military/Agencies dish out for our boys/gals.

    actually it makes even more sense if you are involved in an actual ideological struggle against unscrupulous enemies who could kill your leaders any time. When you want to backstab your voters and do a deal with the ‘powers that be’ then you want to hang on to the power internally by undemocratic means. And in our feudal context it is shamefully obvious. Just look at all the “young faces” gracing the new parliament; they are usually blood relatives of the older names in politics..

    no wonder we are spinning our wheels.. and the revolution cooks (and NO, PPP won’t bring any revolutions anytime soon. But thanks for playing.)

    Just a hypothetical: What will PPP do if Zardari and Bilawal are in plane and the damn thing crashes in the ocean (no agencies. no nothing .. just pure accident?)

    Can you imagine it surviing as a party? I don’t think so because it has been built as a cult of successive personalities. Same goes for other parties to lesser or greater extent. Will PTI survive if IK kicks the bucket while on tour of England? Will PML-N survive the sudden demise of sharif brothers? I don’t know. IMO NO!.

    But let me tell you something, JI will survive Qazi’s death. And MQM will quite possibly survive AH’s accidental death (nothing to do with the big bad agencies again.. purely accidental scenario).

    OK, MQM case is a little bit more complicated, because that has also become a cult of personality and that is not good for them either. But their organization will force new leadership to emerge because all these interests are at stake (It’s a meritocracy in a sick disgusting way)

    The objective right now is not to have pi$$ing matches of the “my party can beat up your party” kind. But to work towards a democratic culture in all parties. To say that we’ll have democracy internally AFTER we have it externally is dishonest and a cop-out to say the least. The parties are supposed to be the institutions that develop their members as responsible democratic members of society who believe in democracy AS A SYSTEM (not as a Slogan) of making decisions.

    The lawyers movement has had phenomenal success (despite all the poo-poohing they’re recieving right now) precisely because they are internally democratic and they have done an excellent job of educating the masses about really basic concepts.

    If you think you can have democracy magically appear in your country while you run your parties like autocratic little fiefdoms run by hereditary despots, you got another think coming.
