The End of the ‘Shaheed’ Era and Family Politics?


Democracy can be clarified as:


Government of people, elected by people, for people.But it’s the fourth time the natives of Pakistan elected PPPP (Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarian) which was formed by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, who was accused being the murderer of the innocent and got the fruits of his deeds that he was hanged to death in Rawalpindi. The result is pretty much known to the natives of Pakistan  and eventually to the whole world ,what they have given us between these five considerable years.Their constant quotation ROTI, KAPRA, MAKKAN – but we would ask you, have they delivered the three primarily necessities  rather we got deprived of these necessities.

Benazir being elected in the 90’s election twice between which she was exiled, as well as she was bound to house arrest and she started living in England with her kids. Despite the reasons of being exile was none less then the party itself being the most corrupt. Perhaps, the Bhutto family was not apart of the fight against the British government for independence. Nor had they seen the immense struggle of those who participated for the Independence reminiscent of, the father of the nation, Quaid-E-Azam, Allama Iqbal, Liaquat Ali Khan, Fatimah Jinnah etc. Furthermore the blood sheds of our fore-fathers who were innocent yet to profess their lives according to the ISLAM which they and we still consider as a complete code of life.
