Benazier Bhutto Historic Conversation @ LSC..Read and Unlearn


Benazier Bhutto Historic Conversation

@ LSC..Read and Unlearn

Listening BB interview after 8 years of her death is really a different experience. it shows how much clarity she had in August 2007.  What she said, argued and narrated is our recent past and in 2016 we are enjoying First democratic transition is a vision she expressed in her conversation. Unfortunately, her statements were twisted by and large mischievously. She supported restoration of  Chief Justice of Pakistan. She told that there are madrassas who are peaceful and there are madrassas who are promoting militancy. I am against those madrassas who are promoting militancy. I will not allow any one, including Talibans to use our country. International community should give long term commitment to democracy in Pakistan as they did to Europe after 2nd WW. Mushraff made army controversial which is not in the interests of Pakistan. She also shared her dialogues with Mushraff Government and emphasized that international community should play her role in organizing free and fair elections. however, she said Mushraff publicly told that me and Nawaz must not come before coming elections but it is unacceptable to me.  
Just listen the Conversation


Watch Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister of Pakistan, discuss terrorism, foreign aid, democratic reforms, and the military situation in Pakistan. 

SPEAKER:
Benazir Bhutto, Former Prime Minister of Pakistan
PRESIDER:
Richard N. Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations


Analysis

Revisiting PPP: 27 December is a day when PPP workers should revisit post BB decline of the party. They should identify those who supported and benefited during Mushraff times, some made connections with Mushraff , some supported Q-league, some wanted to make PPP+Q-league alliance in 2007. They were largely in media, NGOs and lawyers. During Zardari period same people, due to their Pervaizi Legacy, were more critical to Nawaz sharief than Mushraff. Unlike reasonable leaders like Raza Rabbani, they called Zardari more smart then BB. How people like Zulfiqar Mirza, Faisal Raza Abdi, Babar Awan Amin Faheem, Rahman Malik damaged the party from within due to their bad political preferences. How party lost its appeal in the Punjab is a major failure and its basic responsibility is not on the workers of PPP but those who were in command at center and the Punjab PPP. Reluctance to restore Ch Iftiqar and acceptance for NRO (it was implemented unilaterally by Mushraff without the consent of BB is a recorded fact) were bigining of wrong policies during post BB era while Double standards regarding new provinces in the Punjab and Sindh, Bughz e mauvya policy against Nawaz and Pro PTI policy to damage Nawaz in the Punjab proved pitfalls for the PPP. 18th amendment and NFC award were real achievements supported by all major parties but after 2011 hawks sat on driving seats with the support of Presidency and made party a bad example. it is time for revisit post BB policies. PPP workers are not responsible for this decline but the leadership.
