Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
No surprise for me dude, some ppl were avoiding the truth and did not want to believe the inevitable.
PPP could have made someone like aitezaz its chair, but just like in her life they did not do the right thing and just sat on the bhutto name's coat tails for their own personal power, it appears in her death too, they would rather not take the steps to PPP get with the times.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
zaradri's appointment as chairman is actually a good indication of dumbness and duplicity of people like aitzaz ahsan who preach virtues of democracy while belonging to a party that does not believe in its basic principle. its like nazi party praising virtues of tolerance.

Yes. It surprises me. I thought PPP stood for democracy and not for a person's 'will' to be read out and decide the future. So much for the PPP being champions of democracy.
PPP and their supporters have now lost all moral grounds when they talk about democracy.

no aitezaz stepped aside and did not even want a party ticket, he showed that he has principles whether or no I agree with him on everything is a diff story.
we dont know if aitezaz is in support of this topi drama inheritence.

i bet its the same principles which makes him declare that zardari is clean and that under ppp govt, hundreds of people were not murdered through extra judicial means. and aitzaz ahsan will also tell you that ppp respects provincial rights despite the fact that zab sent tanks into baluchistan and kicked out wali khan's provincial govt after which wali khan declared independence from pak.
yes aitzaz ahsan is man of principles all right if principles mean lying about party leadership in order to retain seat at the bhutto table.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
Only happens in Pakistan.
The most corrupt person in the history of Pakistan is elected as the chairman of the self claimed largest party of Pakistan.
What to make of it?
Sorry but sorry, jaisay log hotay haiN, Allah unko waise hi "leader" ata karta hay.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
^ agreed
I won’t be surprised if he is behind her murder…didn’t take him even one day after BB’s deahth to add his own name to Bilawal’s name 
…like he was just waiting for this all to happen
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
^^ As I said before, it won't take long before we hear about father-son feud.
Bhutto family has a history for that.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
^yup that is Pakistan's biggest mahoosiant...feudal system
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
Don worry bhuttos name has been added too
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
Farid bhai, I believe BB has made a mistake by appointing Zardari as chairperson in her ‘Will’. Here are some of the Kartoots of Zardari which should really embarass PPP supporters, and is worth reading again. Mr. 10% is now running the show for PPP - whether people like it or not.

A decade after she led this impoverished nation from military rule to democracy, Benazir Bhutto is at the heart of a widening corruption inquiry that Pakistani investigators say has traced more than $100 million to foreign bank accounts and properties controlled by Ms. Bhutto’s family.
Starting from a cache of Bhutto family documents bought for $1 million from a shadowy intermediary, the investigators have detailed a pattern of secret payments by foreign companies that sought favors during Ms. Bhutto’s two terms as Prime Minister.
The documents leave uncertain the degree of involvement by Ms. Bhutto, a Harvard graduate whose rise to power in 1988 made her the first woman to lead a Muslim country. But they trace the pervasive role of her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who turned his marriage to Ms. Bhutto into a source of virtually unchallengeable power.
In 1995, a leading French military contractor, Dassault Aviation, agreed to pay Mr. Zardari and a Pakistani partner $200 million for a $4 billion jet fighter deal that fell apart only when Ms. Bhutto’s Government was dismissed. In another deal, a leading Swiss company hired to curb customs fraud in Pakistan paid millions of dollars between 1994 and 1996 to offshore companies controlled by Mr. Zardari and Ms. Bhutto’s widowed mother, Nusrat.
In the largest single payment investigators have discovered, a gold bullion dealer in the Middle East was shown to have deposited at least $10 million into an account controlled by Mr. Zardari after the Bhutto Government gave him a monopoly on gold imports that sustained Pakistan’s jewelry industry. The money was deposited into a Citibank account in the United Arab Emirate of Dubai, one of several Citibank accounts for companies owned by Mr. Zardari.
Together, the documents provided an extraordinarily detailed look at high-level corruption in Pakistan, a nation so poor that perhaps 70 percent of its 130 million people are illiterate, and millions have no proper shelter, no schools, no hospitals, not even safe drinking water. During Ms. Bhutto’s five years in power, the economy became so enfeebled that she spent much of her time negotiating new foreign loans to stave off default on $62 billion in public debt.
A worldwide search for properties secretly bought by the Bhutto family is still in its early stages. But the inquiry has already found that Mr. Zardari went on a shopping spree in the mid-1990’s, purchasing among other things a $4 million, 355-acre estate south of London. In 1994 and 1995, he used a Swiss bank account and an American Express card to buy jewelry worth $660,000 – including $246,000 at Cartier Inc. and Bulgari Corp. in Beverly Hills, Calif., in barely a month.
In separate interviews in Karachi, Ms. Bhutto, 44, and Mr. Zardari, 42, declined to address specific questions about the Pakistani inquiry, which they dismissed as a political vendetta by Ms. Bhutto’s successor as Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif. In Karachi Central Prison, where he has been held for 14 months on charges of murdering Ms. Bhutto’s brother, Mr. Zardari described the corruption allegations as part of a ‘‘meaningless game.’’ But he offered no challenge to the authenticity of the documents tracing some of his most lucrative deals.
Ms. Bhutto originally kindled wild enthusiasms in Pakistan with her populist politics, then suffered a heavy loss of support as the corruption allegations gained credence. In an interview at her fortresslike home set back from Karachi’s Arabian Sea beachfront, she was by turns tearful and defiant. ‘‘Most of those documents are fabricated,’’ she said, ‘‘and the stories that have been spun around them are absolutely wrong.’’
But she refused to discuss any of the specific deals outlined in the documents, and did not explain how her husband had paid for his property and jewelry. Lamenting what she described as ‘‘the irreparable damage done to my standing in the world’’ by the corruption inquiry, she said her family had inherited wealth, although not on the scale implied by tales of huge bank deposits and luxury properties overseas.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
^^ This is why PPP would not risk postponing the elections. They know because of sympathy wave, people wont start the mud slinging match against Zardari right now.
After a few months, it would have been entirely different story.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
Now that Zardari is the top man of the PPP, there should be a new thread called “Zardari’s resume”.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
^^ Zardari resurrection would be even better.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
pml-q is back in business big time. zardari is probably the second least popular politician in punjab after altaf hussain. pml-q is going to go nuts over (n) link's with zardari. this is good news.
That could be quite true, especially in Punjab. Nawaz has become a real joke now, with his constant flip flopping and humiliation at the hands of Bhutto-Zardari's. It's quite true what the Q leaders said that he had mortgaged his party to the PPP.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
^ Q leaders statement is worth nothing. They are the biggest lootas anyways.
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
Yes Very good bas ab tu log tum sy apni qismat ka hal pochny anna na shuru ker dain:D
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
just a quick question: why do we refer him as Mr. 10%?
Re: Mr. 10% to take over PPP?
In politics...people vote for personalities who promise rose gardens (by fooling the folks) first...and 2nd/3rd comes the party and its manifesto...so PPP has now lesser chance of becoming a big party...
