Zardari - The most hated person in Pakistan !!

imo, Zardari’s character assassination is one of the most successful smear campaigns the world has ever seen. I’m not saying that he is an angel. he clearly isn’t. but the way politicians (not just Zardari) were publicly ridiculed and humiliated in the 90s is something to behold. the names of Zardari, BB and NS were made synonymous with corruption to the point where now when the public even subconsciously links corruption with Zardari/politicans. even if you ask an ABCD kid who knows nothing about Pakistan… he/she will know that Zardari is not only corrupt but the devil himself. I remember growing up in the 90s and the kind of stories that were circulated about BB were absolutely fantastical and ridiculous. a couple of years ago, I ran into a Karachiite who said that BB (a mother of 3) made money by selling the organs of kids in Karachi. a national leader, chairman of the largest political party in the country (that stands for human rights and freedom) and a mother 3 was making money by selling the organs of kids. wow… and I won’t even get into how all the newspapers established that she was a traitor to the country and a security hazard etc. well in the end, she was the one who came back to the country despite threats and gave her life bravely for the country. not like our rangeen mizaaj commando Musharraf who ran away licking his own balls. these hermaphrodite generals wish they had the courage, bravery, integrity and self respect of Bhutto, BB, Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the Bilours, etc.

if you think about Zardari, the way he is hated you would think he was Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq in one… it’s like everything calamity that befell Pakistan was directly due to him. so, lets see. did he break the country? no, the generals did that. did he start Kargil that resulted in international humiliation for the country? no, the generals did that. did Zardari drag us into terrorism mess and make us a poodle of the US all over again? no, the generals did that. did Zardari murder a prime minister of this country? no, the generals did that. did Zardari send a twice elected prime minister of the country into exile by manufacturing false cases? no, the generals did that. did Zardari give not so veiled threats to BB about the need for her cooperation in exchange for her life? no, one of the generals did that. did Zardari order Hammad Raza murdered? no, the generals did that. did Zardari protect the rapists of Dr. Shazia in Balochistan? no, the generals did that.

really makes you think about the fact that the Pak generals might not be very successful in their day jobs… but if there is one thing it knows, it is how to play politicians like violins. all its takes is a well timed nudge to the editor of some third class paper like Jang/The News or some journalist for hire like Ansar Abbasi, etc and you can get them to write for or against anyone.

similarly, the Pakistani press ought to be embarrassed of how it has conducted itself over the years and how it plays into the hands of the establishment. when the winds change, so does the slant of our newspapers. for example, just read the bakwaas they write every time a general is being promoted. they write about Kayani as if he is the second coming of Alexander the great. these people have no conscience… they are for rent. pay them enough and they will two opposite things in the same day on the same channel. just look at daaaktar Shahid Mossad. the man is an amoeba. will crawl into any hole and assume its shape.

and lastly, our politicians need to stop being so naive. when you get accused of something, don’t just ignore it and pretend that you’re taking the high road… take the idiot to court where either you are convicted or the “journalist” is. you can’t have it both ways.

OMG I can not believe this post. I am in utter shock that someone would believe in something like this. Yeah, I know that there are some stories about BB and NS circulating around that might not be true. For example, the selling of the organs and I don’t think anyone literate person with an ounce of brain would agree with those. BB and zardari and NS are synonymous with corruption because through out the late 80s and the whole of 90s one would kick the other one out of power and slap a million corruption charges against them and let the press lose after them. That is the reason why they are famous for corruption not because any general did one thing or another. As far as BB is concerned, whatever her family fortune was or whatever her business, she still could not afford to buy the 17 million pound mansion that zardari is claiming to be his in the UK and all of the other properties that they posses. NS even with his mills and whatever can not even imagine to pay for the “Raiwand Mehel” which has gold plated furniture and ceilings. Not to forget the foreign exchange scam that he ran during the late 90s when seized for exchange accounts of overseas paksitanis and payed 45 rupees/$ when it was actually worth 60 something rupees. When the night before this seizure happened all the foreign currency reserves of these so called political leaders were transferred to over seas accounts. This is the reason why they are synonymous with corruption, not because some general did one thing or another. If you are not satisfied with just this, do a little google search and you can find how many million of rupees worth of loans have been defaulted by these so called politicians.

Benazir came back to the country because of the elections and the power. She only came during the election time and before than all these awesome politicians that you just mentioned ran out themselves in the same “licking their own balls” manner that you describe and not just that before they were leaving they signed papers admitting all their wrong doings and promised that they won’t be coming back but then again all of them are here. Especially NS who cut a deal with the Saudi prince that he not going to step out of the kingdom.

For all the calamities that you are talking about that happened because of the generals, they didn’t quite happen during the musharraf era. Country didn’t break then neither it is broken now(surprisingly). The kargil issue that happened, it happened when NS was the PM, you can confirm that. Musharraf did agree to help the US with the war against terror but the long stretch of “war against terrorism” that we have in northern Pakistan where we are killing Pakistani citizens started last year under zardari’s watch. Zardari could have easily chosen to end all this but he decided to further become a US’s puppet. Musharraf didn’t murder a prime minister of the country either but NS almost killed the chief of army staff by not letting him land in his own country which pretty much resulted in him being kicked out. None of the generals wanted to excile the twice kicked out prime minister but he cut a deal and signed papers admitting to his wrong doings before leaving on his own free will. I don’t know the Hammad raza story or the Dr. Shazia one so for that I can even give you the benefit of being right but did Zardari do anything to bring peace or justice to them, NO. He on the other have been openly accused of killing his brother in law and was not even allowed to come at the funeral. I am sure that says something.

As far as what did happen during the General’s time was that for the first time in the history of the country we had substantial foreign reserves. We had an emerging middle class and our economy was doing extremely well. The Karachi stock market has not reached those levels before or after that general’s era. People had more to eat and more foreign companies were willing to come to Pakistan. We had a primes minister who for the first time in the history of the country did not have any allegations or court charges against him.

As far as the press being sold out is concerned just turn on Geo news and you’ll see NS propaganda going on 24/7. Hamid Mir is one of the crappiest sold out journalist there is who wldn’t know journalism if it slapped him on his face. He was there during the general era and he is still there right now. I know there are a few on zardari’s side too I just don’t know there names.
