From my blog:
PPP conducted a grand Jirga against the Supreme Court of the country on the eve of the 33rd death anniversary of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. The grandson of the former PM intoned a charge sheet against the apex court in a gathering in which he was the youngest. The august audience heard the charge sheet in pin-drop silence as the 23-year-old Oxford-graduate read out charges with his country’s top court in the dock, and the awestricken audience looking fully convinced of every word he just spoke, and every word he would speak ever after.
The bulky British-resident who often visits Pakistan for political tourism and regularly earmarks at least a month for his outings every year, spoke with arrogance with an air-condition plant working on his back, his father-president and the prime minister of Pakistan seated to his right, and his party devotees sitting under the spell of his British-accent, cheering him on every utterance of ‘Ssheed ‘Butto’ of ‘Larkhana’’.
Quash the court
Mr. Bilawal declares: “The Supreme Court of Pakistan sentenced Shaheed Bhutto to death by hanging for a crime he didn’t commit. This judicial murder was not the first, nor the last flawed decision of our courts.”
The verdict of the whippersnapper on the SC speaks volumes of his maturity and his upbringing. It also brings to the fore the reality that no education can launder a soul tainted by dynastic motivations. He is certainly not a good ‘brand ambassador’ of the University of Oxford.
Bilawal was born a human being, but he was not raised so. He appears to be one who has been clearly told that you are born to rule and that’s what you are all about. That the throne is yours as a birthright and nothing shall stand between you and your inheritance. From the weakest to the strongest, from unschooled to scholars, from jobless to tycoons and from doctors to lawyers — your package of lordship includes the best breed of slaves who will alter all realities, falsify all principles and discard all rules as per your whims.
“Doctrine of necessity” — Phase II
It is true that legitimization of dictatorship under the “doctrine of necessity” was a heinous crime our courts committed. But it was actually an act against the entire nation and not against the PPP exclusively — something that PPP wants everyone to believe. “Doctrine of necessity” in fact went in favour of the PPP as, despite being a disastrous government, Supreme Court has been showing immense restraint and leniency for the regime and the system. It could be appropriately called Phase II of the “doctrine of necessity” which should be considered judicial compensation for the “judicial murder” it committed in 1979. Bhuttos, thus, have been paid back generously.
As far as the political history of the country is concerned, Bilawal knows only what he was allowed to know. The lens through which he sees the political landscape of the country is not a grain different from the one his father uses. The most worrisome factor in his speech was the reinforcement of regional divide to make his case and cards stronger.
Learning experience
Listening to Bilawal, however, was a great learning experience as he defined everyone in his speech with references to their origin: ‘Butto’ of ‘Larkhana’, ‘Shreefs’ of ‘Lohore’, ‘Gelani’ of Multan and Imran ‘Khhan’ of ‘Lohore’. Blame it on emotions that he forgot to tell about his own self — Bilawal of Britain!
He clearly wanted everyone to know that it is actually Sindh verses Punjab — and even if it is not the case, it should be perceived so from now on. He must have learnt at Oxford how beautifully the ‘divide and rule’ policy still works.
The young duke is being readied to cater to the ‘spiritual’ needs of his intended domestic audience. He has been firmly told that the name of his grandfather must be preceded with ‘shaheed’ title and the young master does not choke on it.
In a democratic kingdom where everyone is required to unconditionally subscribe to ‘Bhuttosim’, bow before his royal highness of Mr. Zardari, and submit itself to the young demigod who will eventually take charge of the country the heavens have created for him to rule, we — the ‘non-believers’ — are actually a misfit and should have no space in their czardom!
Moral of the story
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, moments before being smothered by his son – Commodus – tells him that: “your faults as a son, is my failure as a father.” It’s a scene of Gladiator, a fictional adoption of the last war of the emperor Marcus Aurelius against Quadi, a Germanic tribe.
Like emperor Aurelius, Bilawal’s faults as a son, will be seen as Zardari’s failure as a father.
Putting everything I feel into words. There are some articles when you read them , it almost feels like they’re written by the person reading them. So much alignment in thoughts. And this is one of it. Can’t find a fault with it.
not a line sir :nono: … just google it…
