Zardari Offered Sheikh Rashid Senate Seat

To the agony of diehard PPP workers and to the surprise of the rest, president of Pakistan and the co-chairman of Pakistan Peoples’ Party Asif Ali Zardari invited Sheikh Rashid Ahmad, the head of Awami Muslim League to the dinner in Aiwan-e-Sadr. In this meeting, Zardari first offered Sheikh Rashid to join PPP and then a senate seat. In exchange of these, Zardari asked Sheikh Rashid just to lambast at Nawaz Sharif as bitterly as possible.

Sheikh Rashid is the discarded entity, thoroughly and disgustingly rejected by two constituencies in the Rawalpindi on 18th February by the candidate of Nawaz Sharif’s PML(N). His election deposit was even confiscated and he was not even able to roam the streets of Rawalpindi as people were really angry with him, because he remained arrogant, over-confident, proud, disloyal and liar after winning the elections. People punished him for supporting Musharraf, defecting from Nawaz Sharif, remaining aloof and arrogant to the problems of the people.

For the PPP workers, the meeting of Sheikh Rashid with Zardari came as a bomb. Sheikh Rashid during late eighties and nineties always attacked the personality of late Benazir Bhutto with very cheap remarks and personal attacks. Once he said about Benazir that “When looked from back, she looks like Pervaiz (implying a boy), and when looked from front, she looked like Perveen (implying a girl)”. His speeches were always full of such nasty and dirty personal attacks. Once Benazir Bhutto became so furious that she incarcerated him in jail.

And now same Sheikh Rashid has met with Zardari over a cordial dinner. Does Zardari really cares for the name, dignity and reputation of Benazir Bhutto? Does the man really care about his wife at all?
