Introductory comments regarding "writing quality" are much appreciated.
In defence of this website my Order says that it is you who follows the skewed path. We say that this time your Order has the ability to do good but it is submitted that you will fail in this venture as you lack leadership and greed will overtake virtue yet again: it is here the the writer of the story must report it as it is.

If my Order were ever instructed to draft the indictment of your leader (BB) and her husband (Asif) it would be longer than your life. Rest assured of that "Ras".

This article is of much better writing quality than some of

the others. Unfortunately the content has nothing new to

offer.

It seems that CHOWK is deriving its energy on bias and

unsubstantiated "facts"recently.

In any case

Welcome home Benazir Bhutto!

The murderers of October 18th have to be dealt with

severely.

Re: # 2 ["... shaken hands with the military dictator to ...is doing exactly opposite of what her fahter stood for..."]

Perhaps you forget the facts in the haze of mythologised history. The Qaud-e-Awam, whom Habib Jaleb aptly called "Nutfa-i-Haraam", was very much in bed with the generals and was their man until, at the very end he grew too big for his boots and the army that created him (as it did Nawaz Sharif two decades later) also ended up destroying him.

ZAB was hand-picked by Ayub Kahn as his minister of industries (or commerce, I forget which) and later his foreign minister. ZAB is know to have referred to Ayub as "daddy." Later, ZAB was thick with Yahya Khan. On that shameful night of March 25th, 1971, when na-Pak fauj went on a merderous rampage against it's Bengali citizens and arrested Mujib, our shinning knight of democracy, Mr. "Nutfa-i-Haraam", came out and said "Thank God Pakistan has been saved," or something very similar.

Then two weeks later he took oath as deputy prime minister & foreign minister under Yahya Khan. Nur-ul-Amin was designated PM, but that pathetic character was so old and fragile that he was known to pee in his pants. So ZAB was de facto PM under a military dictator, just as his daughter, Bezameer, is now trying to do in keeping with family tradition.

ZAB was then, after Yahya's well deserved disgrace and removal, sworn in as Chief Martial Law Administrator and President. This is how he began, so why do you say that she does differently from the beast. She is, after all, Daughter of the Beast. (A nice play on words)

The pathetic pakistanis are obscessed with benazirs billions. Every general has millions, every khaki has managed some govt land, every retired khaki official has managed some job in the fuaji compoanies....every politician has made some money



and now the business men also got their share...50 billion rupees have been written off by the govt banks.

The pak situatuation " every one according to his capability..." so why focus only on benazir...admire her skills.

If benazir is smart, once the cases are withdrawn she should leave pakistan the hell hole

A good article though some what one sided. Nevertheless it does gives good insight about BB's true source of popularity and her mis deeds and the way military changes its stance from conservative to liberal not as a matter of principle but merely t extend its grip on power.

BB is "dying" to become the prime minister of Pakistan. She has already shaken hands with the military dictator to become the PM of Pakistan. She is doing exactly opposite of what her fahter stood for.

I am not a big fan of BB, but KK, this article is full of tired cliches about the Mush-BB deal, America and what not. Lacks insight.
