Re: PPP to be given ‘free hand’ in poll
why did amin fahim and BB not see eye to eye in 2002? what was teh consensus of other leaders in PPP?
I don't think the other PPP leaders had much of a choice, as they didn't when Zardari was chosen by BB's will as their new leader the other day. If I remember correctly General Musharraf went specially to meet Fahim in a somewhat clandestine meeting at some eating place in Pindi. BB got wind of this, and summoned Fahim to Dubai, and he was told to back track on his deal with Musharraf for the premiership. No doubt she was not interested in a non-Bhutto PPP leader as PM of Pakistan. Now they don't have any chance but to accede to Fahim as PM if the PPP win the elections, as Zardari is not standing in the elections. But they will try to put fetters on Fahim if he becomes PM, but as we know the kursi can get quite warm for people, and Zardari may find it difficult to have his way.
