Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Overall. it was a respectful and affectionate article. The poor guy probably did not realize that some pakistanis would be shocked by some of the things in it. However, he should have left out the 'birthday suit' incident.

That is what I want to know
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Usually CEOs of such high standing don't indulge in gossip.
People are already aware of her background and if they are in denial then that's their problem. Do you think those who worship the feudal lords will stop worshipping them after this piece of news? I remember when she died, some media folks were labeling her as a "shaheed." How so? It's not like she died in a jehadic war or on hajj or something. She was a corrupt politician who got assasinated. Period. Having said that, her personal life should remain her personal life. What revolution or change has this article brought about?
btw, I'm not sure if she was corrupt or not..I apologize. I've just heard about her. And read her book.
Agree to many things you are saying. However please don't disregard the fact that Pakistan is now demographically more youth then middle aged.
Well the power of social media can provide a lot more force to opening the minds of those youth who maybe blindly supporting their party of choice purely because of family history.
And its not about dragging some one's past to disgrace them, however to say that she may not be deserving of all the accolades people bestow onto her.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Flirtatious or not, guilty or not, angel or not. We as Muslims hold no right to argue about someone who is no longer, Allah swt is the ultimate judge as told everywhere, he knows alot better than we all combined do. May Allah swt rest her soul. Peace.
Sorry political figures, leaders, govt officials of public stature, are not immune to scrutiny. The reason is that they are given big responsibilities and in return they are held accountable.
Look at the criticism thrown on the most purest of all, none other than Prophet Muhammad (saw) himself, most of which we Muslims believe is from those who have personal animosity towards him.
Look at the life of subcontinental leaders. Gandhi, Jinnah, etc they are open books. Personal things of their lives continue to come out.
So if things will come out about BB then they will be looked at. That is all I was trying to say.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
You try more to do the same.
In the end our nation will not be able to say any one good in its history.
God bless you
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Her life, she was entitled to do anything she wanted to. Bechari young thi waisay bhi larkay kaunsay naik shareef bachay hotay hain. I'm sure Zardari wasn't a maulvi.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
^ Wasn't a molvi? angel kab bana woh?
Re: Benazir’s college boyfriend reminisces
Where did I say woh angel tha? yehi to keh rahi hon keh woh kaunsa sati savitra hai 
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
So she drank heavily, partied hard, was a nudist and essentially cheated on her husband up until she came back to pakistan. that's what the article states.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Lol the past is the past.. You can't expect all people or politicians to have a perfect and mistake less past. I can judge everybody in this thread on pasts events if I wanted to.
And no I'm not a PPP supporter.

Mistakes made by others does not in any way entitle us to repeat them.
We are free to question which perhaps will result in no answers here let alone accurate, but the place she is in now, she is questionable as well as genuinely answerable.
p.s. Me neither Jafri bhai.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Even those who blindly worship her don't see any relevance in her University life. Her extraordinary political journey and persona somewhat miraculously overshadows that aspect of her life.
The Benezir they worship was a shrewd, charismatic and cunning politician. A ground breaking and dangerously ambitious female politician in men's world.
Whether you like her or not, there's no denying that she was academically a brilliant brilliant student. I hope the Pakistani youth do look up to her academic achievements more than anything.

I've actually heard that assassinated souls could also be called shaheeds, obviously those who found shahadat on the battle field are the shaheeds of highest order.
Thats just what I was once told by a student on an alima's course.

What's your point? If a person enjoys wine, or goes to a particular type of resort, is that a crime. As for Benazir's fidelity towards Zardari. It's a two way street. He never deserved it.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
I used to come here to have a glimpse at my Pakistani friends. I don't usually post on forums but I think I have to do it here. Benazir was in my close circle of friends. I met her while I was posted in UAE and then our friendship continued. We would occasionally meet in UK. I know that for the conservative mindset that is prevalent in Pakistan, people will find it difficult to understand Benazir Bhutto's private life. She was more close to us westerners than people might have liked her to be. People are making a mistake here to judge a person's professional life based upon ones private life. That's wrong.
Re: Benazir's college boyfriend reminisces
Why not. If certain groups of the Pakistani nation idolize her and others win elections using her death as a wild card, then people need to know who they are really worshipping.
The dead leave a legacy of either good or evil. Did you ever hear of any scandal appearing about Dr. Hakim Saeed after his brutal assassination in Karachi?
I agree.
