Pakistan People’s Party-Shaheed Bhutto (PPP-SB) chief Ghinwa Bhutto has labelled President Asif Ali Zardari as a US agent and added that the ruling Pakistan People’s Party was toeing the US line instead of representing people of its country.
“Whatever America wants, he does,” The Express Tribune quoted her, as saying, adding that the PPP was not more than “a gathering of capitalists and feudal lords”.
She regretted that the government had even snatched the basic necessities of food, shelter and clothing from the general populace.
The PPP-SB chairperson refused to accept that the 1973 Constitution was in enforcement, and maintained that the system of Ziaul Haq was being run instead. She was of the view that the electorate did not have the liberty to cast their votes. “They are forced to obey feudal lords and capitalists. They are forced to do whatever these notables ask them.”
Ghinwa recalled that Mir Murtaza Bhutto had been assassinated during her sister’s regime as the country’s premier. “The courts released all accused after 15 years and disposed of the high-profile murder case,” she said with dismay, adding that now they were looking towards the high court for justice.
Ghinwa refused to accept PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari as the heir to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
She also said those supporting the creation of new provinces in Pakistan were speaking in the tone of the United States.
“Those presenting the resolution(s) for new provinces are in fact fulfilling American and Western agendas,” she was quoted, as saying.
