Re: # 57

"Is there a communist party in Pakistan?"

Yes. There are several. There is a Communist Party of Pakistan. There is the Mazdoor Kissan Party of the Stalinist bent... there is the Labour Party which is trotskyite...

And then are splinter groups... several...

zeemax #: " personally think that no descendant of ZAB shares his commitments, and Bhutto family should step aside and place PPP in elected leaders' hands to save it from disgrace.......As for Jahangir Badar, he is personally loyal to ZAB and likely to stick with anyone from ZAB's immediate family - right or wrong."

...i actually had a chance to, personally, meet some of the ppp and pml leaders, and have long talks with them, for a book i was assisting with.......

i agree with you that the best thing that could happen to ppp is for bhutto family to step aside....in fact that is the best thing that could happen to pakistani politics.....it may result in a revival of pakistani politics, as a whole.......all said and done, ppp is really the only national solid political party in pakistan......however, bb and zardari's own corruption and its feudal-centric leadership is going to destroy it......

......a ppp led by aitezaz ahsan or some of its other leaders, will pummel everyone in the coming elections......a ppp led by bb and zardari is well on its way to an ultimate decline........

jehangir badr's status in ppp is no longer so prominent, as he cannot win an election from his area, where sharif brothers now dominate.....he is a direct competitor to shahbaz and nawaz sharif's constituencies in lahore, and cannot defeat them.......the only ppp leader, who can win comfortably in lahore, is aitezaz ahsan.......

ppp has some good people in it......unfortunately, benazir will only allow the bozos like amin fahim to come to the top, when she is absent.......

#50 Posted by dawa-i-dil,

hope to see him ..back Pakistan ..soon.. inshallah ... as SC ..i hope..cannot stop any ctizen of pakistan's basic right to come into Pakistan....it is his basic right....

You know, when these idiots trample the constitution, they believe they can do anything they want for as long as they want.

Even if any deal was signed between NS family and Musharraf with King Abdullah as guarantor (as is claimed), it is Ultra vires being in contravention of the basic rights guaranteed in the constitution. SC will strike down any such deal.

So prepare the welcoming party. Sharif brothers are the only ones capable of achieving a national consensus, as you rightly pointed out.

#34 Posted by abu_safwaan,

Abu_S, Fatima Bhutto is an unknown commodity so far. Only time will tell how she fares in Politics but she doesn't appear to be anywhere near as outstanding as even Benazir at her age. I personally think that no descendant of ZAB shares his commitments, and Bhutto family should step aside and place PPP in elected leaders' hands to save it from disgrace.

As for Jahangir Badar, he is personally loyal to ZAB and likely to stick with anyone from ZAB's immediate family - right or wrong.

Interesting! Alquaeda, Taliban, Pakistan Taliban and other Islamist and their arch enemy the US, have joined together to demand Musharaf's removal.

Baldta hai rang aassman kaisay kaisay.

Isn't always interesting that Ialmist, Alquaeda, Taliban and the US agree with each all the time and then they all blame liberals for for not doing enough to reduce their differences..

A man of unbeatable repute and respect..his honurable/...the retired judge of SC ...who resigned on taking oath on PCO by General Zia-ul-Haq...justice(R) Fakhruddin J Ibrahim..is going to file a petition in SC of pakistan..for Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif..for thier return in Pakistan..as citizens..of pakistan..its thier right to come Pakistan at any time..

though thier exile treaty was a political death...but now..i think..he is the only man popular in 4 provinces..and can dare to fight with US ...and neglect all its pressure with boldness..as he once showed on 5 atomic explosions ..by refusing 5 phone calls of US president....

today..Nawa-i-Waqt said...Musharraf ..asked King Abdullah to stop Nawaz ..coming back...to pakistan..but they refused that..if SC will favour the Nawaz Sharif..they will obey the orders of SC....

hope to see him ..back Pakistan..soon..inshallah...as SC ..i hope..cannot stop any ctizen of pakistan's basic right to come into Pakistan....it is his basic right....

Munir A Malik ...the president of pakistan Supreme court Bar Council..and Bukhari..the GS of Bar Council..said today that..they will cut that hand of all opposition leaders.....who will try to deal with a Dictator..at these crucial moments...when the dictator ship..is just about to sink...They not named that opposition leader...but clearly..they were pointing towards..Bainazir...

The lawyers ..have declared..a wide range moment against the army uniform of a Dictator..and relection from the same assembly.....

Ch ietzaaz ahsan..which has won the greats battle of 60 years..will not move with PPPP...if Benair will make a deal with a Dictator....Raza Rabbani(PPPP Senate oppostion Leader)...Makdoom Ameen Faheem..and Ghulam Mustafa Khar...and Jahangir Badar...also get annoyed over the deal with a Dictator.....

The PPPP...is in very difficult situation....if it deals..part workers and leaders run..if not..then corruption cases cannot be deleted....

bari mushkil mai par gai hai BB.....

GT "Where is brother hamidm2 these days? "

Let me answer, like I said earlier, he has discovered ALLAH, repented of his dimwitted nonsense, and now spends his days in peaceful contemplation, and charity...

Ideally speaking, Pakistan needs political process without military intervention or involvement, but is that possible given our history, Milbus Inc and external situation? We can blame BB for her inadequate political vision or moral bankruptcy, but that does not alter the fact that PPP is the only true national party in Pakistan that derives support from the ppl and not the masjid.
