Re: Has PPP started to fall apart?
AntiOBL,
Don't take it as insult. I my self is basically a Paki which is short form of Pakistani. Are you happy now? ZAB policies were socialists but not BB's. Her policies are 'choon choon ka murubba'.
Re: Has PPP started to fall apart?
Paki is by all means an insulting term in the UK.
Re: Has PPP started to fall apart?
I think Fatima Bhutto, the daughter of Murtaza is the biggest threat to BB's leadership of the PPP in the coming few years.

Ex-senator quits PPP over NRO
PESHAWAR, Oct 8: Former senator and chairman of the policy and planning committee of the People’s Party Parliamentarians, Qazi Mohammad Anwar, has quit politics after resigning from the party’s membership in protest against the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). Addressing a press conference, Mr Anwar, a noted lawyer, said he was hurt by the way former prime minister Benazir Bhutto had manoeuvred promulgation of the presidential ordinance indicating that she had no trust in the Constitution and the judiciary. “My conscience does not allow me to remain part of elements supporting the system based on loot and plunder,” he said. He contended that the PPP chairperson had put pressure for issuance of the ‘illegal’ ordinance to avoid facing the courts. Qazi Anwar said he would concentrate on social welfare and support supremacy of the law and the Constitution. He said former interior minister Naseerullah Babar had also quit the party on the same ground

He also regretted that Imran Khan's decision to disclose in advance the solid evidence he (Babar) had provided him against Altaf Hussain proved counter-productive. "By this way, he (Imran) forewarned the MQM leadership and they (MQM) consequently got these cases set aside through Governor Sindh, thus, leaving little for the UK police to probe against Altaf Hussain."

So Babar is saying basically that Imran has in effect sabotaged the case against Altaf in the UK?
Re: Has PPP started to fall apart?
Oh dear, what a shame. Is this why BB wants to boycott the elections?

Body formed to end rift within PPP
RAWALPINDI, Dec 4: In a move to put an end to the internal grouping in the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in the city, an 11- member committee has been constituted by the central leadership of the party for uniting the scattered leadership in order to yield maximum results in the upcoming general election.
The local representatives of the party including nazims and naib nazims have been given the task to diffuse the prevailing tension between two groups in the party, who are ready to contest elections in Rawalpindi.
The committee was formed during a meeting, held at the party’s central secretariat here on Tuesday. Naheed Khan, political secretary to PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto, presided over the meeting. Ms Khan would review the progress in this regard by holding meetings.
Sources in the party said that the committee included Mian Imran Hayat, Nasir Mir, Rana Sohail Pasha, Qazi Sultan, Sardar Salim, Raja Altaf, Tahir Gondal, Rizwan Sanni, Yaqoob Bola, Malik Zulfiqar Awan and Ilyas Farooqi.
Currently the groups of Aamir Fida Paracha and Agha Riazul Islam are at loggerheads with each other, and during election campaigns publicly attack each other.
Ms Bhutto took notice of the internal bickering in the party and told Ms Khan to unite the scattered party leaders in the city.
Grouping in the party is feared to benefit the candidates of Pakistan Muslim League (PML), particularly former railway minister Sheikh Rashid, who is contesting elections from NA-55 and NA-56 against PPP-nominated candidate Aamir Fida Paracha.
Interestingly, Agha Riazul Islam, another PPP candidate, is also contesting from the same constituencies and has told Mr Paracha to quit elections in his favour.

Masood Sharif quits PPP over policy differences
The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and former Intelligence Bureau chief Masood Sharif Khan Khattak quit the party on Tuesday after being associated with it for 20 years. He wrote an e-mail to the party leader Benazir Bhutto to announce his resignation from the basic membership of the PPP and sent its copies to several newspapers and television channels. “After twenty years of association with the party and having worked very closely with you, as your intelligence chief when you were the prime minister, I am resigning from the membership of the party with a very heavy heart indeed. The events of all those twenty years are well known to you. I am proud of the fact that I was able to acquit myself, at all times, in an honourable manner,” he said in his e-mail.
Though Masood Sharif in his e-mail told Benazir Bhutto that he didn’t want to elaborate the reasons for his resignation, he later told The News that he felt uncomfortable in the PPP on account of certain party policies. “I increasingly found my views at variance with the party leadership. I am known as someone who follows his mind. It was the call of my conscience to part ways with the PPP,” he said. Careful not to offend anyone, Masood Sharif pointed out that the so-called “war on terror” was mostly being fought in the NWFP. He said one could not be oblivious to the suffering of the Pashtuns as a result of the current government policy. “Why everything has to happen in the Frontier? Why our people here have to suffer. Look at what is happening in Swat. Surely, there are better ways to do this job,” he argued. He stressed that there could be no military solution of the conflict in Waziristan, Swat or elsewhere in Fata.
When asked whether he had reservations over the controversial National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) or Benazir Bhutto’s attempt to strike a deal with President General Pervez Musharraf, Masood Sharif chose not to comment directly on these issues. But he pointed out that Major General (retd) Naseerullah Babar too had resigned from the PPP due to policy differences. To a question whether he quit the PPP over the issue of denial of ticket for contesting the election for the National Assembly seat from his native Karak district, Masood Sharif said he was being offered tickets for both the National Assembly and the NWFP Assembly seats. “Everybody knows the PPP doesn’t have a vote-bank in Karak. I secured almost 18,000 votes in the 2002 elections for the National Assembly at a time when the MMA had swept the polls in the NWFP. My efforts and those of my friends and supporters enabled me to get those votes and become runner-up to the victorious MMA candidate,” he explained. Masood Sharif said he had decided not to contest the coming elections. He said he would visit Karak during the election campaign to consult his supporters and then decide as to what was best for the district. “But I would like to take part in future elections from Karak,” he added. He said he had no intention of joining another political party. It may be added that Masood Sharif spent three years in jail after the ouster of the PPP government. In fact, he was the second party leader after Asif Ali Zardari to suffer the most as a result of his association with the PPP and for remaining head of the IB during Benazir Bhutto’s prime ministership.

I guess that's what happens when leaders decide to stay away from their own country, and try to rule their party from the luxuries of Dubai and Londdon.

Yes, and I believe she fears that if she goes for a boycott of the elections, a lot of people from her party will defect to the PML Q or stand as independents.

Naheed Khan withdraws papers
Political Secretary and close aide of PPP Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto Naheed Khan has withdrawn her nomination papers for the women’s reserved seats in the elections in protest against the issuance of a party ticket to Farah Naz Isphahani, wife of Hussain Haqqani, it is learnt. “Naheed Khan has withdrawn her papers citing personal grounds, but in fact she withdrew her nomination in protest against the issuance of a ticket to Farah Naz Isphahani,” a senior PPP member told Daily Times on Sunday. It is learnt that the PPP firebrand woman leader was upset over the party’s decision to award a ticket to Isphani. “I cannot sit with Isphahani in the parliament. I cannot bear this insult,” Naheed Khan was quoted as saying by the party member. The former MNA is known for giving tough time to the government in the National Assembly. Her husband, Safdar Abbasi, is also a member of the Upper House of the Parliament. Asked how Haqqani managed to arrange a party ticket for his wife, the sources said that Haqqani had developed great rapport with Asif Ali Zardari. “Haqqani has been hosting and facilitating senior party leaders during their visits to the US.” PPP’s spokesman Farhatullah Babar said Naheed Khan had withdrawn her papers due to party commitments. “I will remain committed to my party and leadership in any circumstances,” Babar quoted Ms Khan as saying.

Re: Has PPP started to fall apart?
Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.
Looks like PPP is falling apart. To add to the misery, they have now decided to bring Zardari to run the campaign.
