Re: Abida, Fakhar announce to join Pakistan People's Party
spock: you asked earlier about tehmina daultana and abida. Abida is from jhang and so is faisal hayat their rivalry is quite old and nasty. I believe faisal was at one time rumoured to be on the short list to marry benazir. Abida on the other hand was the one who opened contact between leghari and nawaz before the government was dismissed. She was also one of the first to actively oppose nawaz in 1999, so when musharraf took over he first went to people like her and mian azhar.
