Credits for photos belong to Pervaiz Munir Alvi saheb. He took the photos on his recent trip to Pakistan and graciously shared them with me. The location is the Grand Trunk (now called highway N5) in Punjab.
While we have discussed Declaration of Emergency, Chronology of a Meltdown, mis-treatment of Imran Khan in recent past, one topic that got missed is what’s Benazir Bhutto up to these days? We would like to hear from our readers. Today, on my drive back from office, I was listening to Imran Khan‘s interview on National Public Radio (NPR). On a question of joining forces with Benazir, Imran Khan replied:
“We would love to join Benazir, except we don’t know whose side she is on today….There is a big mistrust of each other among opposition parties these days”.
I agree. What do you think? Above photos are in no way ATP’s endorsement to Benazir. They simply reflect a glimpse of our society. In addition to that, I personally enjoyed reading the slogan: “faisla zameer da….”
Owais Bhai,
Is this post trying to create a ‘tehreek’ as you call it by asking relevant questions on our views of Bibi. I believe it is not, all it seeks is to create a debate and a way forward, its a shame you cannot allow the same freedom to others in posting their guest posts.

I wonder some one must have paid to get this written! how can a poor painter afford to spend time and money on this.
This is what PPP does the best, Buy Votes!!
All she will do is loot the country once again. Pakistan has progressed more in one government under Musharraf then the 4 civilian governements after zia’s Era.
Musharraf has made mistakes but he is the better option then all others. Hope PML-Q comes in power again with better and honest people in the goverment, its upto dear Pakistanies now to choose their future, Vote for good people into Parliment.
Pinki Panther Strikes Again!
Blessed are they who care about their lot
Unlike our feudalistic elite who care not
Here they let their lot to rot
All they care is to fill their pot
Ruthless and conniving as they come
What the hell you expect from feudal bum
What Harvard and Oxford could not change
Beyond redemption and out of all range
Self-enriching via loot from the national safe
Twice dismissed for corruption yet all is safe
Instead gets a clean slate for Mush
You all “Socrates” now bashing Benazir. Hoin isn’t Musharaf bowed down in front of Western lobbies to accept Benazir because he didn’t have much support from his own so called “Champion of Democracy” and “Free media” laureates. Musharaf got us “nijat” from the most corrupt leaders of our times “Benazir” and “Nawaz” but “Shabash” to such an “Intellectual” or should I say “Genious” people of Pakistan who missed such a golden chance. Asking a question so innocently “What Benazir” is up to even she said explicitly what she is going to do with our country and Dr. Qadir itself deserver an “academy award”.
