Re: PPP leadership?
hopefully the democratic institutions in the country would have matured enough to be free from the cluthces of these fuedal lords.
the deeds of benzir, murtaza and shahnawaz bhutto is already listed, let me list some of zulfiqar, so maybe if bilawal or fatima do intend to jump into politics they will try not to repeat the mistakes of their parents or grandparents generation

More importantly, Zulfikar Bhutto was one of the architects of Operation Gibraltar which intended to foment an uprising in Jammu and Kashmir by sending in trained guerrillas. A number of training camps were established in Pakistan-occupied (Azad) Kashmir and volunteers recruited. The first terrorists or mujahideen infiltrated into India during the winter of 1964-65. This would lead to a serious crisis in Kashmir and eventually a full scale Indo-Pak war in August 1965. It is no surprise that Alastair Lamb, who has authored several books on the region, writes that ZA Bhutto was “a key figure in the crisis in Indo-Pakistani relations which was to develop during 1965”.
However, when ZA Bhutto came to the negotiating table at Simla in 1972 Pakistan had just suffered a catastrophic defeat to India and East Pakistan had broken away.
The Simla agreement was a face-saving deal for ZA Bhutto, who immediately on landing in Lahore on his return from Simla declared: “On the vital question of Kashmir we have made no compromise.” The implicit understanding that the Line of Control would become the de facto border between India and Kashmir was quickly forgotten.
