Lately no news coming out of Pakistan seem to be good news. This afternoon I started writing about Benazir’s return in lighter words focusing on hilarious statements coming out of our politicians on her return and then this horrific news of scores of people dead started coming in. My lighter mood vanished totally and now I am left wihout words and more questions like, Why? Who? what now? etc.
The headline news on CNN reads as follows right now:
An explosion near the motorcade of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto killed at least 110 people and injured 200 more, officials say. Bhutto, returning after years in exile, reportedly was unhurt.
While we are glad that she remained safe, our sincere prayers are with those innocents who lost their lives.
zabt laazim hai magar dukh hai qayamat ka
zalim ab ke bhi na roay ga to mar jaaye ga
In a way, she killed 140 people and injured around 550!
Ch. Shujaat might be a dumb guy, but I fully back him on his verdict that Benazir and PPP have done this themselves to gain sympathy from people. BB is such a lair that you can’t trust her on anything.
Ibrahim’s point is very valid, “if she had to come to Pakistan to save people, what was she doing outside for 8 years!
Biggest liar, morally, physically and mentally corrupt Benazir is back in Pakistan. All anti-Pakistan forces must be celebrating.
PPP ka mehroom voter

- A few couplets (doha) from Aali-
It is quite apt for this darkness-
– dhoein bhare hain diloun mein, dimaagh jalte hain
chaman ke jism pe gul bunke daagh jalte hain-
koi sabab koi iska ilaaj bhi hoga,
ke hum bahaar sajate hain daagh jalte hain —

Dear All- This is an off the cuff comment( not necessarily linked) on what Imran Khan wrote in the Sunday Telegraph on BB’s return.
What was funny though was that both Immi and Jemima wrote against BB.
This is also called like mindedness.
Anyway- my comments–
What should be understood by the ‘West’ is that the Sun rises from the East and will continue blazing hot on our heads till it sets on the West, which does’nt seem likely in the near future.
Mr Imran Khan, being a good man that he is, should set his priorities right.
Though he may have studied with Benazir at Oxford, their priorities were quite different, as we know from the media.
There are many good people like him who speak the truth, but his forte is his charisma carried forward from his cricketing days, which does not always translate into votes( in these god forsaken times).
People are fed up with street politics, why should’nt they be where the destinies of our less fortunate countries are decided on the steps of White House and in the backyard of Downning Street.
I disagree with Imran that this bombing may force people(the politicians) to sit around a big table and review the srategy on terror.
This sitting down they do numerous times a day on various TV channels, which our General has allowed to bloom for this very purpose benevolently looking down.
He has also sat with the entire opposition parties of Pakistan, in London, sans BB.
I can’t understand why President Bush ‘breaks fast ‘ with muslims whereas he does’nt even know why the muslims fast at all despite being a good christian himself.
The thing is that you should know yourself and not tell others what they should be.
Sincerely

After being gone thru all the comments very realistic,
tolerant, logical, emotiona, well
My Question to All the Lawyers in Pakistan
what is hindering you to take and go to court against
BB, PPP Karachi Police in civil as well as penal Tribunal
to nail the culprits, in the first instance Benazir for manslaughter, homecide in her own person responsible
for the death of 150 and 500 injured for life, malgré, the warnings from the President, PM, Police, security etc etc.
In the second instance related to the first one, the PPP
as a base party of BB, which was utilised, in exploiting,
provoking, and inciting public, without distinction, the
hatred against the adverseries without any physical provocation, and hurling them massively into the kms
long blocked streets on “there own ” helpless, without any provision of, first aid, water, ambulances or any sort of protection, (only for herself and the lords) BB’s responsibilty
is total.!!!!
Can you imagine if this would have been the case here,
believe me , the interior minister, would have resigned,
respobsibles immidiately put on garde a vue and a quick trial and punishment on the spot. would’nt take a week.
There use to be certain Abdul Wahab Khairi ! who was
all the time active. ?
